It seems like a majority of the top mandolin players have ditched their pickgaurds.
Of course by a majority I don't mean all but definitely most.
Is it a feel thing? a tonal thing? both? Has anyone spoken to any of these players about why they chose to leave them off. This may be just me but I actually think when the pickguard is on my personal mandolin it almost gives it a little bit of a virzi effect.
Which I kinda like or perhaps I'm just accustomed to it. I like it off too...
Thanks,
Dem
