I find it hilarious, though it does kind of ruin the mood of the music to see it.

IMO all LPs look better without the pickguard. Just screw the screws back in to the holes.

Also - I quite fancy sticking a Bareknuckle Pig-90 in a guitar one day. Essentially a Warpig in P90 size. Looks cool as fuck. Unfortunately can't get on the site at the moment to post a pic.

+1

I like it with the pickguard personally.

Also kids - I played this guitar. It's my favourite Les Paul I've ever played. I would go as far as to say it is a good guitar.
