Strat Pickguards - Not on Strats Nov 4, 2013 23:42:23 GMT

Is it possible to take a strat pickguard and put it on a body that isn't a strat? Kind of a straight forward question I guess. I was planning on getting a loaded pickguard, but I don't know if I want to exactly make a strat body.

I guess, I know it's "possible". But has anyone tried, or even seen it?

They say more people will come if we say guitar. Guitar.
"Nevermind. I don't want plant words."

It does look a little odd, but it is unique and I kinda dig it.

Honestly, i agree. But I don't want to have to route a guitar from the back right now. It's more work than I want to do.

And other Strat style guitars.

Yeah, I realized that. I think a tele with a strat pickguard is kinda cool though.

A Strat just isn't a Strat without a pickguard! Lol.

i'm not a big fan of pickguards, but i agree with you on this. a strat isn't a strat without one.

i'll think of something eventually

Sean: Well, when they're ready to come do something about it, let me know. Dan, you can't go around making everyone happy, and you can't keep all your opinions to yourself. Speak your mind man. Mar 23, 2014 22:03:47 GMT

Samb1011: I won't jump in but isn't saying that the french run away from a fight the same as saying americans are stupid for driving on the wrong side of the road? This is something people do, mess with other people Mar 25, 2014 1:43:42 GMT

balbrecht: So I was working on a guitar for a friend. (It's a Fender acoustic. Something you'd get in one of those packages with a bag and music and stuff.) I was putting on some new strings, and I broke a bridge pin. Mar 29, 2014 22:13:46 GMT
