can you put a `57 gold anodized pickguard on any regular strat with 3 single pickups?


and how can you tell the difference between a 8 and 11 hole pickguard

Hello there,

Yes, you can put that pickguard on any Strat. Depending on the model you own, you may have to do a little modification. The screwholes frequently do not line up and you will have to make new screwholes in your body to match the pickguard. That is not hard, but if you have a valuable older Strat, you may not want to do that. You may have to shave a little off the pickguard for the neck to fit. You can do that with a razor knife. That is less frequent, but happens time to time.

If you Strat is not made by Fender, but is a clone such as made by Yamaha, you may find the shape of the pickguard does not fit your guitar. The cutouts for the pickups my be located differently. Also the cutout for the lower horn on the pickguard may not match up. On some Strat clones the distance from the neck pocket to the bridge is diiferent from a Fender Strat. The pickguards for those clones are shorter.

If you have a Fender made Strat, you should face minimal modifications to get the pickguard to fit.

Good luck,

Can you gold plate something that is anodized?


???

If it's anodized it's already been plated once. Check with a jeweler he hill confirm my statement.

1 comment to Anodized Gold

  • You know what, I think I may be mistaken about poor old Rick, I hope he doesn't sue me for libel!! :)

    For some reason I clearly recall news reports back in his heyday that suggested he, like Milli Vanilli, was just a front for a voice-over from another singer. After I wrote my post above, I took a short break from work and did a little Google'ing on Mr. Astley…. and seem to have discovered my mistake! It seems he really did sing! Who woulda thought that deep voice really came from that skinny kid!? Heh.

    …although I'm pretty sure he didn't do those backflips :)

    My apologies Rick!

    So, regarding the radio show, although you totally lost me on local sports(no fault of your own), you piqued my memory when you mentioned the old McDonald's ashtrays. I had totally forgotten about those little aluminum saucers. Weren't they anodized gold? And they were always burnt up, bent, melted, and nasty looking.

    Another McDonald's throwback trivia item that has its roots in 'addictive chemicals' are the old micro-spoon coffee stirs. Do you remember those? As a kid I thought they were super nifty, with a teeny-tiny spoon at one end, and a stylized McDonald's arches design at the end of the long slender handle. Although these were great from a marketing standpoint, and just very cool from a design standpoint, they unfortunately were also very popular with the cocaine crowd apparently.

    The use of these tiny spoons for cocaine finally got so much press that McDonald's changed to a rather boring flat stir, and eventually to the commoditized squished flat small straw stir we see today. Bah, how boring!

    One can see an image of the old spoons here:

    /www.bigredtoybox.com/cgi-bin/toynfo.pl?mcdonaldscoffeestirrersindex

    I was kinda bummed when they pulled them, as I used to collect them as a small kid when we'd take family trips and get the then new and novel 'fast food breakfast' at McDonald's :)

    They apparently sell for $5 now. I guess I should have saved my box full of them for eBay.

    So, since so much was made on this installment of 'The Rant' about local sports, how does the recent arrest of at least one star athlete at Southern Lee potentially impact the coming season? ….not to mention the impact to these youngsters' lives. What a shame they apparently(not yet convicted of course) did something so stupid.

    Al
