Here's my '07 LCPG modded Faded. It's the same guitar that's in my avatar.

mmcquain · 02-19-08, 09:55 AM

Here's mine (and my pickguardless CS356 for good measure)...

dege · 02-19-08, 10:40 AM

I used to prefer pickguards but not anymore.

Jurius · 02-19-08, 10:43 AM

Mcquain that custom has got to have the best high gloss finish on it that I've seen. I could shave in that guitar.

Wow, there are some gorgeous guitars in this thread. Here is my red custom.....I seem to always post this photo...gotta take some others sometime. I have a black custom with no pickguard as well.

Thin_Lizzy · 02-19-08, 01:45 PM

Normally I'm a 'pickguard ON!' guy, but I like my newest one without.
1987 Studio Standard:

She had faded quite a bit as you can see.

Lizzy - I'm a big fan of Studio Standards (have an '84 TB), and that's an excellent example...but didn't they make 'em only '84-'86...does your serial # jive with '87?

That could be a RARE bird.

PS: 'Looks like that Protector is in great shape too.

With curves like that, would you ask Salma Hayek to put on a dress?

Very nice looking guitar. And, no I would never ask Salma to put anything ON

Thanks man! Yes it is a '87 Studio Standard. S/n reads 809775xx. Obviously the bridge and PU rings are non-original, but I'll replace them with the correct ones. It's really an awesome guitar

I suppose you got one too?
I think I present her to the world soon in her own thread

Sorry, I see you have a '84 St-St

P.s. the protector case is in decent shape. Too bad one lock has broken off. Don't know if I can get a new one somewhere...

JWest · 02-20-08, 11:22 AM

Here's mine, nothing special just a 07 lp standard.

MikeB_18 · 02-20-08, 12:45 PM

I think I might have took too much off.

lpdeluxe · 02-20-08, 02:31 PM

This all answers the age-old philosophical question:

Who needs pick guards?

Not me.

Sea Bass · 02-20-08, 07:38 PM

Here are my two babies. Both 2001s.
