Opinions wanted with or without PG

[ke3ee]

My New LP semi. with or without Pickguard. Color is true in photo without.

 

[sunken.anchor]

I say without. I think it looks too cluttered with both the F-hole and the pickguard.

 

[bkatx]

On that particular guitar I'd go with the pickguard on. Hides the long mineral streak.

 

[enharmonic]

I say with only because it balances out the f-hole on the other side. IMO, doesn't look right without it.

 

[slipbeer]

We cannot possibly have total agreement here. It is TGP after all.

I LIKE the mineral streak. PG stays in the case.

100% Personally I've always liked the single ply crème colored LP standard guard.

 

[cratz2]

I like the streak and I'd leave the pickguard off myself.

[Sweat]

Without looks cluttered with it on

 

[THiwaTT]

I normally don't like LPs without pick guards - but I like this one much better with no pg, much less cluttered

 

[GCDEF]

Without

 

[samdjr74]

[markw1980]

Without, but either way would be fine.

 

[R13D]

I'd go without on that particular guitar.

 

[rummy]

I like my Les Pauls with pickguards, but this one looks better without.

same here

 

[Whiskeyrebel]

Poll it.
I think the guard balances it out since it only has a soundhole on one side.

 

[kracdown]

Without. Very cool mineral streak, and I am usually an ON guy!
