Our aluminum or brass pickguards and control covers will greatly reduce or eliminate tone circuit noises; thereby protecting your tone.

Sources of tone circuit noise are: 60 cycle hum (Most single coil pickups), Static Electricity, EMI noise (Halogen Lighting and Fluorescent Lighting) & RFI noise (Radios, Cell Phones, Baby Monitors, etc).
