Rob, I got one of these from US ebay, apparently its like the one fitted to Jim Campilongos signature telcaster. Its fitted to my esquire and is basically a Fender plate with part of the edges ground off. Works fine, but I can't honestly say I 'use' the extra cutaway part for picking a la Campilongo really! I've got another stock tele plate that I drilled for strings along the back panel to try out the sound without the 'through-body' stringing. It worked but I prefer the stock job, -Leo got it right first time IMO!
Doh! Forgot to include the photo but I think you get the idea.
Campilongo and all the other cool kids use toploaders.
Heres's one I found in my junkbox, with chromed steel saddles, but one could just as easily use brass, titanium or unobtanium.
Notice anything missing?

Thanks Rob. The Mairants chart you linked appears to be an arrangement for two guitars and a vocalist. Why do you say three guitars? In any event, the arrangement I was asking about has piano and...
Yes as marcshy asks..I would recommend a very good teacher.
You have alot of fragments but not one piece of "whole cloth"
I was in a very similar place years back..I had alot of things I could...
Ivor Mairants published back in 1965 several arrangements of songs arranged in the Shearing style which required three guitars. Not having the ability to record a trio, I performed just one part,...
Poor jazz musicians need to eat. He's dropped his price to USD 3,995. Plus shipping, and I will arrange for any shipping to a US address for him. Someone grab this deal!
