Pappy P Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I keep forgetting to ask this question. Does the Strat pick guard effect tone. I know some product discriptions talk out the no. of pickguard plies. I'm assuming that the Pups are mounted to the pickguard. Is this more of a feed-back issue than a tone issue? My understanding is that the pick ups should be mounted to a surface that vibrates the least. Help me understand this fellas. www.birdblues.com My Stuff On Sound Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well I can't answer that Pappy other than to relate a metal to plastic swap on one of my Strats. On the Aluminum Strat I originally had a aluminum pickguard and changed it to a black pickguard and didn't notice any difference in the tone or performance on the guitar. Same tone same sustain same amount of hum up near the amps ..So there is no doubt I had a different dynamic between the mounting surfaces of the pickups going from a metal to a plastic but no difference I could notice. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
