Hurricane Custom Guitars and Repairs

This is a picture is of a custom wooden pickguard in which was done with the customers chosen design. The pickguard was cut from a sheet of walnut. The pickguard was finished with a grain filler, stain applied and a high gloss finish to match the clear high gloss finish of the guitar body. A coating of an EMI shielding paint was applied to the back of the pickguard to aid in reducing hum and block Electromagnetic Interference further reducing noise. The white pickups and hardware really accented the walnut pick-guard and made the guitar pop. Because a start pickguard is attached to the front deck of the guitar, there is unseen benefits to a wooden pickguard. Plastic pickguards are a denser material and has more of a dampening effect to the tone of the guitar. Wooden pickguards are a natural material that transfers the energy of the strings through the guitar along with the body of the guitar without dampening. Since the pickups not only pickup energy from the strings but also pickup energy that the strings transfer through the body of the guitar, (Much like the transfer of energy through a LP style guitar where the pickups are mounted to the body of the guitar) a wooden pickguard transfer the energy in the same way that the wood of the guitar transfers the energy enhancing the natural sound of the guitar. I had used the EMI shielding paint rather than a metallic tape for the same reasons. The metallic tape is a higher density material which also has a dampening effect where the paint is just as effective at blocking EMI but does not have a dampening effect.

This is cool guitar. Left handed and only 4 ever made.
