I'm hoping I can find someone here that can do some fairly exact crafting of a copper plate. I am working on a guitar project and I want a copper pickguard. It would be for a standard American Fender Stratocaster 11 hole. I'll post a pic in a few hours of the pattern but I'm typing this from my iPhone. Anyway, it would need to be either 12 or 14 gauge. Strat pickguards are from .07 to .09 thick. I can provide an actual pickguard to use as a template as well. I can even provide the copper if need be. But if selling the materials is part of your trade... I have no problem purchasing from you either.

Also if you can do copper plating... I have several strat parts I've been shopping around to have plated.
 
Here is a picture. As you can see it has 11 holes on the outside edge. These are where it is screwed to the top of the guitar. Then there are three large oval holes in the middle each with their own small screw hole on either side. Three holes that are about 3/8ths for volume knobs and such. And then a slit to the right with two screw holes for the 5 way switch. It's not a terribly difficult shape it would just require someone with metal working tools and some skill. I have neither. I could make one out of wood probably... but not copper plate.

Here is a stratocaster to give you an idea of the layout.
