Help W/ SR4 HS and Pickguard

[Deacon John]

Hello everyone--

I picked up an SR4 HS that has been converted into a SR4 "HSS."

I really would like to put it back to the original config. BTW--how many of you knew that a dummy coil was lurking underneath the pg??? As I suspected, that "single" coil really is not a single coil.

So, where can I get an original SR4 HS pickguard in white?

Comments, please!!! Should I keep it modded, or put it back?

Thank you,

Deaky

hey Deaky,

call customer service at 1-800-543-2255 they'll be able to sell you a pickguard over the phone.

As far as your bass goes. getting her back to normal should be as easy as plopping on a new guard so that the dummy coil goes back into hiding

good luck! and welcome to the forum,

Also, if you are looking for something different than standard, you should take a look at www.pickguards.us They have templates made up for the dual pickups already and they have a "few" alternative options.

Actually, it is a real pickup that you can hear. the difference is that you lose the single coil settings as envisioned by the factory. I figure they would have released it if it was worth being released as a 3 pickup instrument. As it was only released as a 2 pickup with a dummy coil speaks volume to me.

Screw the middle pickup down, pop a new pickguard on that sucker, and enjoy the power that is a humfree soloed neck and/or bridge single coil on a Stingray.
