Along with many other odd and sods we also make etched guitar pick plates, commonly known as pickguards or scratchplates. Pick plates serve both a functional and aesthetic role on electric and acoustic guitars. Positioned near the guitar's soundhole or on the body, these plates protect the instrument's finish from scratches caused by aggressive strumming or picking. Beyond their protective function, pickguards can also influence the tonal characteristics of the guitar. Some pickguards are made from materials like plastic, wood, or metal, each imparting a unique resonance to the instrument. Additionally, the isolation of guitar pickups plays a crucial role in shaping the overall sound of an electric guitar. Pickups are responsible for converting string vibrations into electrical signals, and proper isolation ensures minimal interference from external sources, resulting in a cleaner and more defined signal. Musicians often experiment with different materials and techniques to achieve the desired balance of protection and tonal quality for their instruments.
