What is involved in making this?

[RDochert]

Hi,

I know nothing about metal working (as you are about find out):

Is this something that is reasonable to ask a hobbist/machinist to make as a one-off (see attached picture)? It is roughly 10cm by 5cm by 0.15cm. Although this one in the picture is chrome plated, I am not bothered about it being plated. The 'real' plate also has a logo embossed on it, but I do not want that, as I don't want it to be a rip-off.

The background to this is that this is a neck plate for a discontinued bass guitar (Musicman Stingray Pre Ernie Ball). The original neck plates don't come on the market very often and when they do, they are expensive. So I want a temporary steel plate, in the same size, that I can use on a vintage guitar that I am assembling, until an original plate comes on the market that I can afford. So the replacement would need to functionally work - it just would not look like a true original.

I hope that makes sense? Let me know what you think and thanks for any help in advance.

Regards

Raymond
