I'm redoing the mica on a D-10 and need a piece of standard, gloss black laminate mica (Formica, Wilson, etc.) for the project. Minimum required would be about 18" X 36".
Email me with what you might have and $$$.
Thanks, John

| Hi check out this website. I have used this stuff to cover a Sierra and an MSA classic. It is easy to work with and very durable. |

| TB, Sounds like an interesting idea, but it appears that the drum cover material is thinner and more flexible than actual laminate mica. There's a reason some steel guitars end up looking like high school lunchroom tables. Drums look cooler! |

Hi John,
I agree. I got tired of confusing my formica kitchen cabinets with my steel guitars. The Sierra is red sparkle and the MSA is green sparkle. They both sound great and have many lookers on gigs. They look especially haunting in a dim light because the sparkle reflects in many directions. The only manufacturer that gives this option as far as I know is Carter. |

I agree that the drum wrapp is a bit thinner than standad mica, but if you put it over hard maple and use lawrence or truetone pickups you will have an awesome sound! |

TB, I play EMCI's and they have aluminum fronts and backs. The mica has to be the "normal" thickness to fit into the slots and line up with the aluminum trim. I could leave all mica off and get a real industrial look and probably an unbelievable sound. These things sound so good with Lawrence pickups it almost doesn't matter how they look. I prefer the old type 710 or the LXR.
Thanks, John |
