ChanMan Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Mine had one... and it would fit just fine. If I were ever crazy enough to want to cover up that gorgeous finish, that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaresz Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 It should have come with one, but only the solid color finishes would have it factory installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson CS Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Its part of the case candy. Thers not alot of guys here who would have the heart to drill those holes into their baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaresz Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Its part of the case candy.Thers not alot of guys here who would have the heart to drill those holes into their baby. I couldn't bring myself to drill holes, but prefered the look of the pickguard. I purchased one of Bobby Lee's screwless pickguards and it works great. http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/business-classifieds/926-screwless-pickguards.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it flex and hit the body, or place any undue pressure on the mount if your hand strike the guard while playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_Lee Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hello all! It seems most of my clients don't actually use that small bumper. It's actually fairly difficult to make the pickguard contact the top. And thanks Aaresz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I took the pickguard off my first Les Paul in the early nineties while cleaning it. Liked the way it looked, played it without, and never put it back on. 4 Les Pauls later, I have no pick guards on either of mine. Don't really need it.

Gibson CS Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I even took it off of the custom. Its in the case. Its like a lovely lady with too many clothes....we wouldnt want that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaresz Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 And thanks Aaresz Your Welcome! The pickguard works great for me, and without the rubber bumber too. I don't mean to engage in the pickguard / no pickguard conversation but I do prefer the historic look, and tend to rest my fingers in that area at times. As a side note Bobby Lee I just read that you used to make paintball gun grips. Before my body gave in to age I was a pretty active player on the NPPL circuit. I wonder if we've ever met in a previous life, or if I used you grips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
