Pickguard questions

Post by bonecrusher »

I have a 2010 bluesboy - Toying with notion of doing away with the neck humbucker and doing a standard tele style pickup. Are the pickguards interchangeable if I buy an asat classic pickguard?

Is your 2010 Bluesboy USA made or the Tribute Series version?

Please post a photo of your guitar.

I see that it is already modded with a new bridge and bridge pickup.

Regarding the pickguard: You should be able to interchange the current pickguard with either an ASAT Classic Alnico or ASAT Classic pickguard.

Hope this helps.

Awesome - Thanks!

Its a glendale bridge and saddles - It was on the guitar when I bought it. I purchased an ASAT bridge so I can play around a bit - Not sure if there is any improvement either way just like to play.

I already pulled these pickups out of the guitar - They were Lindy fralins. I am still on the fence about the pickups - Thining of bringing either the seth lover back in the neck - or may be trying a single coil...
