Re: Pickguard or no pickgaurd?
Hi Dem!
I have removed the pick guards from my Gil, Weber, and Gibson F4 Hybrid. I never come in contact with the mandolin with my right hand, (except the strings!) and I've found the pick guard/finger rest actually gets in the way, especially with the E string.
I hadn't thought about the esthetics of the topic, the mandolins are each so beautiful.
I hope you are enjoying your Gil Fern, how 'bout an update?!
