Who sells the Jaguar control plate with the 3 way toggle?

Painting? Routing? Set-up tips? Or just straight-up making a guitar from scratch? Post here, and post pics!

What kind of metal are these plates made from? Are the Japanese plates different from the AVRI/Vintage plates? (I am talking about normal stock plates)

Paul's plates are 2mm stainless steel, polished right up. US and Japanese ones are both chromed - steel, as far as I know.

Go to the hardware store, they sell stripes of aluminum. Aluminum is super easy to machine with a hacksaw, drill & fille. If you have no experience or clue what your doing it still couldn't take you more then 3 hours to fab that plate outta aluminum. Steel is a lot harder to tool.

I have some aluminium. I might try it out and then move to steel once I work out the kinks. Maybe find out how much it cost to chrome them. If I made them I would do one like teh Kurtz switch with the 3 way toggle and strangle and one like Haze's that does 3 way toggle and 2 switches.

Well here's what I came up with. Thanks for everybody's input, and also thanks for the toggle switch.
I'm not quite savvy enough with this stuff yet so I had somebody else do it rather than wreck my shit.
Yes, my camera sucks.

P-rails in both positions with triple shot pickup rings on a Jeannie pickguard. The jag switch on the toggle plate is a killswitch. We're still working on getting the rhythm circuit back in there, but I'm pretty satisfied so far.

I bought it off of vincel. He can tell you who makes it.

If I ever were to need another guitar like this, I'd just go with the black CIJ HH jag and put the triple shots in there with the p-rails along with the toggle, cause the rhythm circuit is already there.

Hop on board, Mr Haze. You know you want to.

You basically described his Jaguar HH.

Here's what it used to look like as a stock MIM Classic Player HH

Nice! Those triple shots are clever, props to Seymour Duncan for those. I went with the existing jag switches for my coil splitting but triple shots give you individual control over each pickup, where as my method selects the coil for both pickups. It'd be nice to have a rail bridge and p90 neck option but I can't swing that my way. I think cost was the only thing that kept me from using them.
I've said it loads of times - the CIJ HH jag special is about as solid of a jag that you can get these days.
