• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Just installed one of these and it's a cool little mod that's almost unnoticeable to most, but makes a difference.

It's a shorter pickguard bracket. The normal one is I believe around 1", and they're all offered through WD/Kluson in additional lengths of 1.25" and .875". I went with an .875" on my ES-335, and it helps give a little more clearance for your pick hand so the pickguard is more like that on a Les Paul. Just not quite as hiked up off the guitar as it normally is. Makes things a bit sleeker, for anyone who may be interested.
