yeah i know but i like my strings vibrate thru the wood than plastic pickguards. The sound is brighter i think.

The strings never go anywhere near touching the pickguard. The bridge is mounted to the wood in both cases, and that's where the strings energy goes. The pickups don't transfer the strings vibration into the pickguard.malufet said:yeah i know but i like my strings vibrate thru the wood than plastic pickguards. The sound is brighter i think.

malufet said:yes nitelightboy. It's really because when i buy guitars i would always try it unplugged. I examine it acoustically first and pickguards dont resonate and dont have much tone as the direct mount. All my guitars dont have pickguards because of this. hehehe
Sounds like a good idear, Hoser. I'd like to hear 'em.Drew said:(now's about the time I really wish I'd recorded some "unplugged" clips of these guitars mic'd up so I could show the differences in the acoustic tone... :/)

(I'm with you on the pickguard thing, too. I think us Strat guys just get used to that sound.)
Heh... I like pickguards, but I LOOOOOVE my 2027. Besides, I can't live without the piezo. About a third or so of my band's music uses acoustic sounds.zimbloth said:I'll trade you my Universe for your 2027. HOW ABOUT IT PICKGUARD BOY!?![]()

maskofduality said:doesn't the uv777bk come with better factory set intonation than the k7 (not 100% positive on this)?
@zimbloth: did you find this to be true?
David said:yeah, I can't stand the K7's... I don't know why, I just don't like them. It isn't because it's Korn, and it isn't because it's severely overpriced like the UV, but it's something.
UV ALL THE WAY
