New Pickguard Day

OH THE DOUBLE THICK GLAZE!
I love hums! Double screw A3 Sethb/Antn hybrid neck, Red Devil middle middle, Double thick A3 JB/Sethb hybrid bridge. It sounds so good!

While I don't think I would ever wire a Strat H/H/H, if that's your thing, that looks great.

What kind of finish is on that body? Is that just plain wood, or is there some sort of translucent matte coating?
 
Re: New Pickguard Day

Thx! Yeah hums are my favorite. I was thinking if I needed to put a true single coil in between the full sized hums to break things up and to improve the notch positions but I was like eff it cuz I wanted to try the red devil. It ended up sounding really good. They all have a similar vibe and balance output wise. Neck middle, and all 3 are dark positions but everything sounds really good. They blend with this soulful humbucker grit and quack. There's no finish anywhere on the body or neck. I got em like that from warmoth.
 
Re: New Pickguard Day

It sounds cool--not quite like a Strat, but not quite like anything else, either.

I know this thread is about the pickups, but I really do like that super light natural wood with the black pickguard.
 
Re: New Pickguard Day

Thx, yeah I get em unfinished when I order them custom from warmoth. Less money and sounds better imo, plus it looks cool. I may try staining one in the future. Although strat is my favorite guitar, stock strats are too jangley for me. I like hums, hardtail, and unfinished changes the sound a little imo.

Just tweaked the single coil pickguard and it came out insane. Kept the neck pc the same with A5/A6 added a quarter pound in the middle instead of a custom strat, and went from A5/A6 to A2/A6 in the bridge. Then went from 500k volume to 250k volume.

Re: New Pickguard Day

I'm sorry but I... I liked the black pickguard.

Is it just an artifact of the flash, or does the Quarter Pounder have some sort of metallic-looking cover?
 
Re: New Pickguard Day

The black pickguard is still in the guitar I put it in. It's in the background. Must be the flash, it's a stock qp.
 
Re: New Pickguard Day

Went UOA5 on the neck Seth/Ant in the black pickguard guitar. I'm back into UOs. Just no A4. It thins out the bass and sweetens it up and makes it more detailed. I also bumped the treble bleed down from 220pf to 150pf. That way it darkens as I turn down the volume and gives a boost when I turn up.
