It sounds amazing, I have a set of vinehams in it .Beautiful Lester you have! I've been blessed to have a nice handful of LP's over the years....some I left P/G on. Some not.
As far as your guitar goes, I think it looks awesome ether way. If I HAD to choose, I'd opt for the pickguard as that cream color works so well with cherry ish finish.
How does it sound/play???
I can understand the ocd thingI think it looks great without it, but personally I have OCD and the screw holes would drive me nuts after a while. It does look good with the guard too.
I don’t know how to play that song lolPlay “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” with it?
It looks great either way. Maybe 50.001 no pickguard and 49.999 with pickguard. It’s really close.
Definitely on. I wasn’t sure why I feel that way but @loopfinding explained it for me.but a standard with it off just gives me trashy LA modern rocker vibes.
