Tim Plains Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I disagree. I don't like the look of any LP without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Moore Tribute Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 To me it depends on the Finish, The nicer the top the MORE you want to show it off This is true with my Cherry Std & Desert Trd. However with more simple finishes it doesn't look right without the pickguard on. In my case a Gold top & Plain Honeyburst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Cosmetically, I go through phases with my LP and 345, on, off, on, off....... Currently they are both ON. Plus, I've played so much jazz the past few years, that my right hand style almost requires the "pickguard" as a "finger rest". I even did a full blown "elevated finger rest" mod to my 345, jacking the front edge up off the body with spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
