Jackdaniels2244 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Are there ways to protect the les paul guitar without a pickguard and still see the wood work of the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 You could use a polish like Virtuoso http://www.virtuosopolish.com/ In fact I recommend it as it preserves and protects. That said my 07 Standard has no pick-guard on it. It came with it but was never put on. With this finish though its a bit different imho. It needs to be done again I ran out of polish.

JM2112 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 IMHO, just don't get too crazy if you want to keep from marking it up. The maple cap is contoured. Some folks don't mind battle scars on their guitars, to them it just adds to the mojo. To each his own... My LP Custom Shop came with a pick guard, but it was not attached, and I can't bring myself to install it since the guitar has a wonderful flame top and tobacco burst finish. I'm just mindful of what I'm doing when I'm playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 There are transparent p'guards on offer. You could buy adhesive plastic guards that adhere to the surface of the guit. which are commercially available. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdecantoo Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 +1 for the transparent guards. Not sure i would use sticky ones on a nitro finish though. With a little elbow grease they are fairly easy to make, see pic on left. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
