Members jjpistols Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Was bored and tired of bright white pickups. Before After I changed absolutely nothing but the covers and the knobs. Same pickups, same electronics, same strings, even. It sounds way better now, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yzfou Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 pretty!!!! Those Pacifica are great guitars. Just by the look of it you can tell it sounds better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoeBoy Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Looks great both ways. You would think as many of those are around, someone would make aftermarket guards for them. I am not crafty enough to make my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thecornman Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Looks good! Of coarse it is going to sound better, because black always sounds better then white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjpistols Posted March 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks y'all. Joe, there's a seller on UK eBay who sells Pacifica scratch plates, which are very much like our pickguards. I ordered a tortoise last week, I hope it fits. Was about $21 shipped.

Members Steadfastly Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Gold against that black pick guard would look nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members *BLEEP* Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 ...It sounds way better now, of course. You might be able to improve the sound even more if you replace the white pickup selector switch knob with a black pickup selector switch knob.
