jlwilliams1979 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Here are a couple pictures of my new Honey Burst Les Paul. This is my first electric guitar and I love it. Now I have to decide if I want to put the pick guard on. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plank_Spanker Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Great looking Lester! My vote - no pick guard. These's an interesting flame that the pick guard would cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckledzepplin Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 keep the pg off and congrats on the new guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbursted Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 CONGRATS, SHE'S A REAL BEAUTY. Tough choice on the pick guard. I seem to remember there is an alternative to installing the guard. it actually fits under the PuP rings. Don't remember what it was called, but do a search on the forum, you should find it.

ChanMan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Gratz on the beautiful new axe! I'd leave the pg off for now. You can always put it on later if you decide to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Very nice guitar. Les Pauls look incomplete without the pickguard...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thats a gorgeous guitar. Good choice. *Smooth Alert* I only ride my ladies bareback...Keep it off and show the beauty. btw...Lester + Orange is a sweet combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlwilliams1979 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. I think im going to keep the guard off for now. I agree with plank_spanker about the flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Keep it off and show the beauty. a sweet combo! Agreed 100%. The deciding factor for me? It does not appear the body has been drilled, eh? Don't bother if the mounting holes are not already there. A Les Paul is one of the few guitars that don't NEED one. I rarely contact the body on any of mine while playing. In my opinion, few LP's look better with a pickguard. We're just used to seeing them that way. I left it on my Goldtop, no real difference there, but if ya gots wood, let the world see it!

NawlinzVoodoo Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Beautiful LP. I would leave it off as well. I just bought a Traditional and it came with the PG, but I wanted it that way, so to each his own. And I agree with NeoCon 100%. Enjoy bro, I Love mine!!!

Manimal Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Gorgeous!! My favorite finish. Hows that little SS Orange amp doing for you? I'm going to be looking at a bunch of different little SS practice amps for the finished basement. So far I'm really gunning for the Micro Cube, but wanted to double check some others.
