Blame Joe Bonamassa for that.

I see where the black is awesome. But I've always like cream. So I gotta stick with the cream but really either will work and both are beautiful! So jealous...

3-ply pickguard on black looks really good! The whites of the ply accent the chrome hardware. I kinda miss it.

Thanks.Actually,I bought a pickguard for it but I couldn't use it because the hole on the top didn't line up. Maybe I will order a custom PG some day but I like the way it looks without it, Like Snowy's GT.
His has a bit more wear now.

Wow that will look great!
Check out these 2 LPs owned by a guy on the MLPF
that's two of the joe bonamassa signature models. the one with white plastic replicates joe's no 52, one of his main guitars, he changed the plastic to white to show his forum peeps that didn't like the black hardware. arguing that if your spending that much on a guitar, you could afford $40 worth of white hardware if you didn't like the black.
i'd love a bonamassa signature one day, mainly as i'm a big joe fanboy (post on his forum, he posts on there a lot)

Looks great. I think Les Pauls look much better with pickguards than without.

Thanks guys! This guitar was originally shipped with out a pickguard attached but the first owner drilled it for a pickguard. He actually had put black plastic and a black pickguard on when he bought it. When he sold the guitar he put the original cream plastic parts back on but there was no pickguard.
