Chris...try giving http://www.mumfordguitars.com.au a bell - he just restored my semi-acoustic 12 string for me and did a fantastic job. He seemed to have a little bit of everything on hand, including a spare piece of matching pickguard (very non-standard) to fix a hole on mine. Really nic bloke as well.

He's based in the country but comes into town regularly.
