Hi guys,

Does anyone have a pair of marblised white feet for an AWA fret anf foot (model 38 I think), or know if reproductions are made - and by whom?

Thanks,

Robert

G'day Robert,

Just to let you know there were white feet with brown marbling and white feet with black marbling. You'll need to state which you are after.

Yes, I have heard rumours that someone does make replica feet but not sure of the details.

You could try an Ebay member, "deleteme7777". I bought a set a few years ago and I think it was this seller. If you search Ebay for this user name, you will find he has similar items

3D printing will advance much faster than consumer printing did.
if you have no luck now it's only a matter of time.

That reminds me, there were also two styles of feet. The ribbed version shown in the photo in the preceding post or a plain version which I will photograph today on a set I own.

Thanks guys. The ones I require are the white ribbed ones with brown "highlights" - exactly the same as the image link above. I'll give the suggestions above a try.

Robert.
