Post subject:  Custom L5S Fingerboard replacement, poss to buy pre-made?

Hi,
I've been crazy busy house renovating and working every hour possible so I haven't been on for a while, however you folks are the guys to ask...(even though I think I already know the answer!)

Does anyone know of anywhere that I may be able to buy a new pre-made fingerboard for a Gibson Custom L5? I need to turn this job around asap, and while I've already started making one, if I could buy one it'd make life a bit easier.

So its fairly standard Gibson, but has W/B/W/B/W binding, the L5 etc style end to the fingerboard at the 22nd fret, block abalone inlays. I've asked Warmoth and hunted around on 'net but I feel I'm wasting time I dont have!
this kind of thing:

any help much appreciated!

all the best
steve
