Traditional Pics

Murfdog · 04-29-2012, 01:21 PM

I removed the pickguard for the first time since owning this guitar. I took some pics and decided to post them for the hell of it. Don't worry, I won't be doing a pickguard vs. no pickguard poll.

With pickguard.

Beautiful guitar! I would leave the guard on for vintage tone personally though!

Anyways, the guitar looks nice either way! Can't go wrong with pickguard on or off!

I was just playin'. Looks great, seriously!

Thats a beaut.I love the flame and the finish.ice Tea?

KenG · 04-29-2012, 01:53 PM

Very nice top on that. I'd keep the PU on as well. It's not like there'd be a shortage of flame with that little covered up.

I don't know yet. I'll probably end up putting it back on. I'm very fickle you know.

Looks good. Always liked HB and this one has a nice top. I say with the pickguard but looks nice either way.

Take any shots showing the sides a little bit by any chance?

babatube · 04-29-2012, 02:30 PM

Yeah. I like the feel without the pickguard. I haven't noticed the apparent huge difference in tone though.
