I like the purple saddles !

I use those as a visual aid when I play Purple Haze for hearing impaired folks. They always seem to like my playing the best.

I’ve never tried a metal pickguard. Does it reduce the high end? I’ve had brass open pickup covers on single coils before and it noticeably reduced the high end. I thought it wouldn’t because they were open, but I was wrong about that.

You’d have to define the material the pg is made of as well as the thickness to start talking about the specific effect it will have. Most metal can change the inductance of a pickup, and will generally lead to lower resonant freqs and a perceived loss in treble. If grounded, they can also assist with shielding (and vice versa, ungrounded can become an antenna).

Ok finally done except for blue switch tip coming tomorrow. Or will it be red!!??

The guyker tuners look good, but how do they feel compared to hipshot with ump? Are they made of similar materials? Besides the ump, are the hipshot worth the higher price?

Dunno yet,the feel good and the locking is working good. To soon to tell but they seem quality. I wouldn't go so far as to say they are as good as hipshots.

I might have to give them tuners a look see. They would coordinate well with my Purple Waze build I did in 2020.

 

[Don O]

Well, bummer, sold out.

 

[Hagwood]

Looks great ! It's fun building something a little over-the-top color wise now and then. Can't all be boring.......

 

[Spud]

First impressions of Parallel Axis stack very positive, punchy, clear, bold. In a different way than say a Duncan Quarter pounder.

 

[Spud]

I know some of you are having trouble sleeping wondering what color the switch tip would be. Red has won. And this completes Blueluminum.
