Hi guys,
okay, enlighten a know-nothing DIY-er....
I have a self assembled strat with a body and neck of different brands.
since the neck is 'too high' for the cavity in the body, the bridge ended up
being too low. So I put a piece of pickguard material under the (classical
strat type) briidge... I found the sound to be rather thin (thiner then it
should be with the MIJ jazzmaster pups that are in there) .... I figured
that the thinner sound was the fault of the piece of pickguard material
under the bridge and was considering changing to a piece of (glued on)
wood... would this help? how does it work out with your prototype?
[obviously, the thin sound in my guitar could also be caused by the crapy
Hondo body, the crapy squire neck or the MIJpups... :-) ]
