I have a Perm on my bench. If keyhead removal isn't a big pain, I might be able to sandcast you a plaster copy.
It'd be up to you to turn it back to sand.
If the original foundry used a mold instead of sand, I bet the molds are long gone.
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

So, how many castings do you want to make, and do you want to copy something that was already produced, or design something yourself?

I have some ideals for making a student pedal steel and I want to cast many, copy one that's already made unless it has a patent.
