Where to find white golpeador material? 
I have an old (1960) peghead flamenco that the golpeador has come off of and left a residue on the spruce. This luthier made them with white golpeadors, but I can't seem to find the white golpeador material anywhere. Anybody know a source? I'd rather not use clear because the residue/stain isn't going to come off. Only option is to cover it back up or refinish.

They are pre shaped but can be modified to fit most 2 piece designs

If the prefab ones don't work for you Tony, you can always go to your local plastics vendor and buy some white sheet stock (11-14 mil), cut it to fit with scissors and stick it on with spray adhesive.

A_arnold,
did you manage to do it?

I also bought some white sheet stock as John sugested, and try to figure out how to best stick this on the existing transparant golpeador.

It turned out the old golpeador on my old Chica came off without damaging the original finish, so I was able to use a new transparent one -- which was good, because I couldn't find any white golpeadors that didn't come 't in 2 pieces.

The old Chica golpeador was one of the earliest transparent golpeadors (1967) and it was made out of a stiffer, more brittle plastic (I don't know if it was acetate like the modern-day ones; it might have been polystyrene or something else). It was very thin, but so stiff that it wouldn't conform to the curve of the soundboard well -- or it couldn't expand and contract with the top when humidity changed. It kept coming loose at the edges.

Have you figured out how to stick on the white material? I kind of like the old-fashioned look of the white golpeador. Which is weird, bcz it is just a different kind of plastic!
