As of 8-1-2007 I will no longer sell 40 Gauge Strat & Tele Shields. I will, however, continue to sell the Adhesive-Backed Strat & Tele Shields. My sweet wife, who was die cutting the 40 Gauge Strat and Tele Shields by hand has just given birth to our baby son. Neither she nor I have time to die cut them at this time so I am trimming my product line a bit. I actually like the Adhesive-backed Strat & Tele Shields much better anyway. They work just as well and are much easier to install. I will continue to sell the 40 Gauge 12" x 12" Copper for those that would like to cut their own. Monte Allums

SONIC UPDATE - When I started selling Strat and Tele pickguard shields I had no idea how popular they would become. I knew that shielding worked and that by offering them at an affordable price point others would be willing to give them a try. But what I didn't expect was the numerous e-mails I started receiving claiming that the pickguard shields were having a positive affect on their tone. At first I attributed this to the fact that the reduction in EFI and RFI noise was what everyone was hearing. That is, until I started receiving e-mails stating that the shields were not only reducing EFI and RFI noise but were also eliminating static pickguard buildup and somehow enhancing sustain and the harmonic output of the pickups. This really puzzled me because the copper shields are non-ferrous (not magnetic) and shouldn't really have an affect on the pickups. But, here's a thought, brass is made up of copper and tin and we all know one of the tonal benefits of brass is sustain. So, lining the pickguard and cavities with copper is having a very positive effect on a guitars sustain. Anyway, just having a quieter guitar is reason enough alone for me. Any extra benefits are just icing on the cake. - Monte Allums
