Does anyone else have a few loaded Strat pick guards on the shelf?

[solspirit]

I've got three, one loaded with the originals, one loaded with a JB and and a jazz and another one with a JBjr, a hot rails, & a lil Screamin Demon

[JB_From_Hell]

Just the one with the duncan designed singles that came out of my Strat with the Fishmans.

[MikeS]

Just one - a single-ply white guard with a lone white TB-6.

My loaded guards are all in guitars right now. ;-)

[Mincer]

I had intended to do that with my Music Man, using Molex connectors for super easy swaps. I just kinda stuck with one of the pickguards that I really liked and ended up selling the others.

So, instead of swapping guitars, you swap pickguards during the gig?

[jeremy]

doesnt everyone?!?

nah, i just have cool stuff wired up but (somehow) not enough strats. like the red devil set is wired up with a push/push tone control to split the neck and middle pups and an on/on/on switch for the bridge to get series/split/parallel. i dont wanna have to redo that, so i kept it wired up and got a new guard to try whatever the next thing i wanted to try was.

W/B/W loaded with Lace Sensors - H/S/S.

[playas]

I've a HS with a reverse angled neck single for my Hohner as an alternative to the HSS...but I probably won't bother much with it to be honest.
...unless I maybe route it for HSS and use it in another build.

The plan was a lower output HSS set and an easy swap to a heavier sounding HS...but the HS set-up wasn't doing it for me.

I don't, but I have a Tele pickguard that I loaded a Quarter Pound Neck in, then realized until I took the other one out that my Esquire is not routed for a neck pickup. I would've thought they'd just slap a no-hole pickguard on a regular Tele body to save some money. Looks like they don't.

Nope, they never did it's got to be routed and it's easy to put a swimming pool in

I honestly should. Good way to shed some weight off my heaviest guitar.

FYI, I just swimming pool'd two MIM Strats and an MIA Tele. All three lost 3oz.
