pickleweedpete Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It looks like the pick guard is attached with screws. Do you like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It looks like the pick guard is attached with screws. Do you like that? It's an elevated finger rest, supported by a bracket and a block, just like on an archtop. That's pretty much the way they have to be attached.

62burst Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yes, Dave F had offered that one up as an option in the "What cost, faded rose' " thread from the first of this month. In the vein of less stuff stuck to the guitar top, the better, the screwed on/elevated finger rest is totally (& historically) ok. The more ambitious ask Those elevated guards do, however, flex, and transmit their fair share of finger noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 They are taking a page from the 1930s Kay Kraft playbook with that elevated pickguard on the flattop. But I actually like the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarjtb Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Beautiful guitar, but if those two pearl dots behind the saddle are bridge bolts, it is problematic. The holes will be so close to the bridge pin holes that they may tear out. The nuts on the bolts also will get in the way of the string balls. I know they did this on some of the vintage models, but I have never liked that set up. Those ill-conceived plastic bridges that Gibson used around 1963 created the same problem. One of the screws that holds the bridge on from underneath, is just in front of, and overlapping, 2 of the bridge pin holes. The bridge plate is often chewed out right at that intersection.
