Les Paul pickguard on or off?

[Random Hero]

Your thoughts?

vs.

 

[Gadzz]

Off!!

 

[racerevlon]

Off. I think most Les Paul guitars look better with it off.

 

[Heritage Softail]

On.

The pick guard makes it look more narrow. With it off it looks chubby... Maybe that is why they used an angular instead of curved pick guard.

 

[ConcreteVampire]

With this top, on. Classic....

 

[amiller]

I always thought the pickguards on LP's looked cheesy. I like it ... naked!

Off. I think most Les Paul guitars look better with it off.

Off... Unless you're Jimmy Page. No exceptions.

 

[Gainzilla]

I like both but prefer it off

 

[chumbucket]

on

 

[Ventura]

I'd say ON in this instance. Just goes nice with the coloration IMHO. But you know, either way - it's a Lester so play it proud

 

[blackba]

To me it depends oN the lp, in this case on, but both look good.

 

[Stramm8]

Standards, especially sunbursts - ON. Customs - OFF.

 

[The Hoff]

I've always preferred it on.

 

[Jofipe]

Off, such a nice flame.

 

[cujo]

Off they are the ugliest fkn pick guards out !

 

[chunktone]

off.

 

[joepete77]

On, if the holes are already there then definatly put it on. It just looks much better that way.

 

[OUTLAW1969]

Off. I think most Les Paul guitars look better with it off.
