surfpup Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I was wondering what the best way would be to fill the hole' date=' or holes? The one on the binding isn't so bad, but the one on the top next to the neck pickup bothers me! I've left it alone so far until I find out a good way to fill it? [/quote'] If your guitars are precious and you want it done right... I got nothing. However, if you want it done quickly, cheaply, and effectively ...stick a toothpick in it and trim it off carefully with clippers or a razor knife. Then dab with appropriate colored marker or touch up paint. Works for me. Here's my gold top before and after the removal... you can see the toothpick - I still need to touch it up.

Andre S Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 AXE' date=' I'd tell you where to stick that pickguard of yours but by the looks of it, there's already a Strat wedged up there. [/quote'] OOOOOH!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 depends on the guitar. Sometimes the pickguard looks just as good as the guitar: I kinda wish Gibson would do figured maple pickguards. they are just... awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdeluxe Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I don't need a pickguard -- I don't scar up tops with my pick, and I don't rest my fingers on one -- so I take them off. I did put a pickguard on a guitar that didn't have one, after an idiot dug into the nice bear claw spruce top of one my acoustics with his careless strumming.

loneguitar Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Why is it that there are always ones that feel the need to post on/off posts? It's your guitar, who cares as long as you like it the hell with the rest. come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintage52 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 And even more amazingly, the knobs become speed knobs and the strings wrapover.. Damn it!! If taking the pickguard of achieves all this, I'm getting rid of mine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBB Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 for the guys with the nice finish, and who don't want the holes, how about the Bobby Lee clear pickguards that screw to the pickup rings. I put a blue transluscent one on my robot and it looks pretty. Real pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpiphoneGuitarist17 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Haha, this seems to be an entertaining thread. I'm not the most advance guitarist or the most knowledgable one but I will have to agree, it does depend on the guitar, the finish, and what you could do to the sound, that is if pickguards do change the sound. Anyways, I have an Epiphone SG Special myself but I decided to put a pickguard on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
