I love my ole couch guitar..I got it set up so good! Play more than my expensive axes. Sounds great too! Been screwin around with Pick Guard..believe it or not can effect your tones and sounds...the factory one is thin and cheap..no problem..drilled a few holes small holes between bridge and pickup...one for each string...size ...mm about size holes in pick guard. Gives the sound of a poormans reverb. The echo comes from the chambers beneath the pickguard. You may want to consider the price of a new pick guard before you do this? I was going to buy a thicker one anyway...american strat? I think ill just stick with this one now.

Whatever you decide, I'd certainly look into one that has shielding underneath. (the whole backside of the pickguard as well...not just the area where the selector, volume, and tone controls are located.)
