Re: GOLD GUARD REPROS!

[mcjt]

i sold my GG on OSG. After all the hoopla about GG, i was quite surprised how very few people would actually buy one.....

it seems that when it comes to putting your money where your mouth is....

Well, I for one (and as I said about 100 times on this board already  ) if a vintage-correct GG becomes available, I'm still on the list.

You should start a poll thread and ask people to place a vote if they are seriously interested in buying one with a ballpark time and price figure - get some idea of how many people are actually going to buy one. 12m2 is a hell of a lot of guards to be left with if only 6 people really want one...

point is, i wouldn't trust in a poll as a basis for monetary caculations, i'd just find it too risky at the mo. maybe i should really wait and see what they will come up with.

hmm that was the avri compatible guard GPR are selling, right? i actually like mine a lot... it's not too thin and has a nice fit.

If nothing turns good from stereordinary poll on tort guards, I'm on your guard!

I wanted it but I didn't have a body to put it on...until now of course ;-)

Well, I've decided, I want som more zing from my guitar, so a gold guard is necessary!!
I'm in your list right now!

[mcjt]

my korinamaster (with thick scot guard) definitely has a new ring to it. it's a cool resonance. might not be everyone's cup of tea, i might add.
the shielding with brass plates AND alu guard is fantastic! the guitar is extra silent

I didn't know an aluminium guard was affecting the sound...

I didn't believe it either before I tried. I does affect the sound quite a bit, actually. The guitar sounds brighter.

[fuzzking]

yup it does add a distinct chime to it.

update: still waiting for samples from the laser guys. they seem to be quite busy.  :-\
i won't buy the alu sheets yet, but i'll defintely have some samples cut at this point. you never know.

Yes I agree it does add top end - well acenuate what is alrready there. I had a 57 reissue Strat, it was a light Ash body with a maple neck, I added a gold guard for that Gilmour 001 vibe and also fitted a 'base plate' on the bridge pickup for some Tele twang and it became a very snarly guitar. The guard and the base plate were two very cheap and sonically obvious upgrades.

Yay!!!!


I SO hope this is going to work out!!

there still is hope that the factory will be releasing 13-holers only. 
i tried to get the laser guy on the phone for the last 2 days... patience... patience.
