HELP!

I’D LIKE YOU TO DESIGN FOR ME

As a time-served graphic designer I’d absolutely love to! If you prefer not to use the online designer or would like me to design for you, just say the word!

Get in touch & I’ll walk you through all to quickly establish exactly what you’re looking for & the best way to achieve it, as no two plates are the same. Pricing is competitive, starting from £25.00 & you’ll be dealing directly with me, who not only has the necessary skills & experience, but is also dripping in creative juices & has a passion for music & providing the best, along with playing a bit of bass too. Yep, that’s right, GIG.INK is essentially a one-man band, with all instruments played by me, Tim.

MY GUITAR OR BASS ISN’T LISTED – EEK!

Worry not as I can cut plates to any shape – HOORAH! If yours isn’t listed then I’ll be happy to match your original plate for free. Yep, no additional charge. Isn’t that refreshing?!

Just let me know exactly what make, model & inside leg measurement of instrument you have as I may already have a template on file, but if not I’ll simply ask for a scan of your original or post it to me to match.

Why FREE? Simples, I’d really like to increase my library of plate templates & the best way for me to do this is to use the real McCoy! Just to confirm though, I mean a free TEMPLATE, not an actual free plate I’m afraid, so I will generate the correct shape for a standard factory model which means I can produce your plate even if it’s not listed on the website, & all for no extra charge!

If scanning, please scan the BACK of the plate as a 300dpi greyscale photograph & save as a JPEG, popping a piece of coloured paper between the plate & scanner lid (so the plate edges show up nice & clearly) & Email to me at: hello@gig.ink 

Failing that, simply post your original to me & I’ll match it, plus naturally return it with your new plate.

Now, you’d think a guitar scratchplate is simply a guitar scratchplate wouldn’t you? Oh no – manufacturers like to twist our melons man & tweak the shape of plates by teeny tiny amounts so I ALWAYS Email a PDF template with every order which MUST be checked for fit. Why? Well, plates that don’t fit for are as useful as a chocolate teapot &, let’s face it, we both want your new plate to be perfect.

Clearly this is a potential problem if you’re buying a plate as a surprise gift – so can we cordially lovingly politely absolutely definitely maybe insist that if you’re not 100% sure of exactly which make, model & inside leg measurement of axe you’re buying for, then simply be prepared to present your loved one with a lovely colour printed visual of their plate, so they can triple-check all the finer nerdy points about plate fit themselves – something along these lines:

Hey look, I know that some peeps don’t know the difference between a Strat & an SG, a Jazz & a Jazzmaster or Geddy Lee from Gear4Music – let alone whether it’s made in America, Japan or Hull – & despite having a library of over x600 templates I may not have yours on file, which means I’ll need a scan of the original plate or pop it in the post & I’ll match it, as a great fit is vital – like most things.

Mind you, even easier, I offer vouchers to let your loved one design their new plate just the way they want – you’ll find them HERE – but do get in touch if you’d like advice as I’m here to help.
