duane v Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Truly a Beautiful Les Paul Custom. Love the finish. Love the whole look. The 490R/498T aren't my cup of tea so If it were mine I'd put the original pickups in storage to preserve resale value and drop in a set of pickups more to my own taste. While I agree it would look killer without the pick guard I'd leave it as it is. Owning an instrument at this price point without a pick guard would make me hold back from really letting go when playing. No way I'd be scratching that top. Actually all my electrics have buckle rash and the hardware pretty much loses its luster after only two gigs. The only thing i try to prevent is dings. I clean them after gigs and such. But I certainly don't think about the condition of my guitars while playing them..... I just think about playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every tried one of these? On/Off in 10 sec. or less. Not to leave on the guitar, just while playing. Also, can be trimmed but mine fits well on Acoustics or Electrics. Works Great & are cheap in price, not quality. Scratch Pad Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Man, I still have my High School waistband and Has to Have a belt or my pants would fall off. I can't take the "spender" on my shoulders (neck issue). The ScratchPad keeps me from tuck'n a t-shirt or towel to cover my belt buckle or even just the metal button on the jeans will do the damage deed.

Dub-T-123 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Lol...... I had this 5 gallon plastic water jug I've been throwing in one and five dollar bills in the last three years.... I sawed off the top and I had $4200 and some change... And I bought two Rams tickets for their season opener against the Seahawks That's a great way to pay for a guitar if you ask me. Congrats Duane. Enjoy the guitar and the game. I know you're from SoCal so I take it you're a Rams fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
