Ordering my UV777BK this month!

[LordOVchaoS]

After months of drooling and getting my finances straight...

With the help of Eric (tha man) I will be putting a down payment on a UV777BK this month, actually this week if everything goes as planned.

Eric is indeed the man and has helped me out so much on this deal. I will buy from him and only him from now on provided he deals with the gear I'm looking for at the time. Thanks to him, I will now pwn you all!!!

Hey. That thing's nice.

 

[LordOVchaoS]

Well, that's not the actual one I'll be buying. Just a random picture I found. I'm ordering a brand new one.

 

[Leon]

If you get bored of the standard plastic pickguard and fancy a propper metal one, try Precions Metal Products ( www.preciousmetalproducts.co.uk ). They make a quality product at reasonable prices and ship worldwide.

I was thinking a brushed aluminum or polished aluminup pickguard would be hot on those things...

...course, they ARE pretty damn hot anyway. Cheers dude.

or, if you hate your audiences, you can get a mirror pickguard like Vai

mirror pickguard + spotlight = ouch

I have thought about a real metal pickguard but I'm worried about what that might do to the tone???

 

[Drew]

apparently, aluminum has great tonal properties.

Either way, you figure it can't be any worse than plastic.

One of my personal guitars, a 570 with ubermojo, has an aluminum pickguard. I have to say that I love the sound with the TZ/AN in it and that it seems a bit different than other with the sameish specs, actually. I didn't think it would make any difference but it seems to have added very controllable feedback at lower volumes than without it. Strange but true.

If nothing else,it adds mass. \m/

 

[LordOVchaoS]

hmmm... where might one find an aluminum pickguard to fit a UV?

As I said before, www.preciousmetalproducts.co.uk. They should be able to do an aluminium pickguard for you.

there's a place listed off jemsite that's done aluminium pickups for UV777bk's before, located in the US - for shipping alone, they're worth looking into.
