I'm after a pair of Fender-style bass string retainers - but in unplated brass. Any ideas where might do them?
 
 Thanks

Red ones are better.

    Are these close enough? Not round, but brass…


    Dimensions 19mm x 11mm x 5mm, groove spacing 12mm (approx).

    I have six, if it matters!

    I've had a look, I can find gold ones but no brass ones so far.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen brass ones

    I suspected you might when you said you wanted two ;).

    Either that or you were building some sort of extra-1970s Shergold project or something :).
