Wild_Rose Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 it depends of the finish and pickguard/knobs colours.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 It's strictly a cosmetic thing. I don't know of anybody who actually needs one on a Les Paul. I mean, how do you hit the body with a pick when the strings are so far above it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 It's strictly a cosmetic thing. I don't know of anybody who actually needs one on a Les Paul. Well' date=' you might [b']need [/b]it to cover the holes and the ding from the attachment bolt if it's already been installed by someone! I take them off anyway though.

matiac Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Depends on what kind of mood I'm in, right now it's off. I may put it back on...tomorrow? Same thing with truss covers, sometimes I'll reverse it to the white side, or I have a Gibson cover says "SG" on it I'll put on my Les Paul just to f@ck with people.

Big Bill Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I prefer them on too, I simply think it looks complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Another reason I prefer it on is to hide the damn hole for the pick guard. Now, if I was to get a Lester with a AAAA top, I would have to keep a pick guard off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I think AXE's next avitar is going to be an x-ray with a pick guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 No hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil325 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 its all based on preference bc i doubt you would actually need it to protect the body from pick scratches unless you are just ridiculously wild with the strumming. mine came without drillholes/installed pickguard so i had a choice. i decided to do that screwless pickguard thing so i didnt have to damage the body, and i can go pickguard or no pickguard just by unscrewing from the pickup rings. to each their own so if you like it on, then put one on :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnastynebr Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 And cover up this top? No way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney1566 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Special tops-No Bursts and solids-Yes A black Les Paul Custom with white pickguard is cool. A white Les Paul Custom with black pickguard is cool. Guess it just depends. If the guitar came with one-Yes If not-No How's that for a definately/maybe:-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vette77 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 And cover up this top? No way.... ...=0.....beautiful finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xinnix Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Same here. My 1960 Classic w/Sunburst, I left it on. My Standard Faded Tobacco w/flames, I took it off. Unfortunately the previous owner put it on. I was wondering what the best way would be to fill the hole, or holes? The one on the binding isn't so bad, but the one on the top next to the neck pickup bothers me! I've left it alone so far until I find out a good way to fill it?

Tim Plains Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 On is for teh gheys. AXE, I'd tell you where to stick that pickguard of yours but by the looks of it, there's already a Strat wedged up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
