EOS650 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I want to take the pick guard off of my Squire jazz. Would that be ok or would it hurt the instrument? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It will probably have routing underneath the pickguard that will look nasty with it taken off... same for most Fenders unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have no PG and a routed fender, its black though so looks pretty cool IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EOS650 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 I've taken it off before, no exposed wires it's solid black underneath. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuseMatt Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) not knowing it's only there for a) looks B ) protecting your body finish from scratchware (scratchplates can be replaced, paint is more expensive to have redone) Edited September 26, 2008 by MuseMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I wasn't sure if it would somehow mess up the pick-ups by getting dust in them or something. Just being safe. Oh, and I don't care about the paint job. The bass + amp was $300 so it's not really top notch stuff anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 yeah its fine to take them off but if you slap agressively or play with a pick agressively you will damage the finish, but you wont damage the pickguard. thats what its there for!
