Like the new look to my LP custom?

Re: Like the new look to my LP custom?

I think it would be too death-metal-ish with that pickguard. I am enjoying the guitar without any pickguard. Kinda John Sykes's banged up custom look. I am sending my goldcovered Seth Lovers to the custom shop for chrome cover job. We will see ...

Brisk. What do you think of that pickguard? Do you like it, or not. I like it in that picture, but wonder if it's too aftermarket or busy looking on a classic guitar. I dunno.

I think a nickel C-5/59 with the original black rings would look good, but maybe too much like the 68. You should just leave it like you have it for awhile, till you really want a change.

looks great man. How do you like the sound of the 59/59 combo in there?

You can't go wrong with 59s in LP. I get the creamy solo tone from neck and thick and deep tone from bridge. Of course, with the same amount of gain, LP distorts more with better sustain because the bulky body.

I like how it looks, makes the inlays and binding look more lively i think.

Awesome!!! I was thinking about putting chrome rings on my Black explorer with mirror pickguard.. Where did you get them??
How do you like the dual 59 combo?? I have a 59b in the neck

I like the look better than the gold myself. It's got a working man's axe look.

I like it a lot! One one hand it could be the total Darth Vader look but on the other hand it could be sleek and classy, and a bit more subdued than a gold-hardware Custom.

Recently the store took in an LP Studio in Alpine white with chrom hardware and a black pickguard... WOW.

Oh yeah.... how much do you want for that Strat? :32:

Sweet! I think it looks rich and classy too! Looks like there should be a black Merecedes parked next to it with a cheaufer polishing it and a beautiful blonde in fur waiting in the back!
But then thats just the way I see it. Its sweet man! Love it!
