OK i got a 08' MIA strat. i'v had a crazy idea in my head for a while, and i want to know if it's possible....

I'd like to buy a clear transparent pick guard and replace the stock white one with it..i think it would look coo because you could see the electronics


What do u guys think...ib heard sumthing about shielding but still bit confuzed....

thanx in advance

Dont know about shielding but there seems to be none on the pictures. You might be good without.

Man that would be awesome!!!. but what i heard is that i would need shielding. Can someone confirm with me if my 08" mia strat has shielding on the pick guard

That is a good idea... I would do that if my guitar didnt look like a mess inside

Hi edengrillz: give it a try. Obviously, shielding will kinda spoil the purpose of a see-through pickguard, so...

Some people smother the insides of their guitars with shielding, some do fine with just the foil on the underside of the pickguard, and some get by without any. Only experience will show which is right for you.

So long as you don't throw out the old pickguard you can always go back if it doesn't work out for you.

Post us a pic when you've done it, why not?

I'll give it a try but does my original pick-guard have shielding on it?

Almost certainly. Next time you change your strings undo the pickguard screws, lift the lid and have a look. Thin aluminum foil on the back of the 'guard is what you will expect to find...

Man i just changed strings yesterday..hehe. I'll post pic's when it's done
