On the one hand, the cream plastic pickguard compensates for the lack of a cream bobbin on the neck/Rhythm pickup. On the other hand, no pickguard and covered pickups would look better again.

I'm tempted to do either aged nickel covers or 1 aged nickel cover for the neck pup and leave the bridge uncovered, possibly going back to solid black bobbins on the bridge

No pickguard and swap the colors (black for bridge and zebra for neck)
Then again, I have a rooting interest.

Thats a gorgeous Les Paul. Both are good, but if i have to vote then its nice without the guard and maybe a zebra in the neck too (but then again, its pretty rock and roll to have the pups not matching).

Re: pcikguasrd or no pickguard?
lol yeah you remembered. It did indeed get a DD, I got a zebra to keep the looks but the same but am not contemplating putting covers on them both, or maybe just the neck pup. The DD is killer btw, I like it a lot better than the custom it had before.

I've always felt the Les Pauls' pickguard adds a touch of classiness.

If I ruled the world it would be criminal to cover up any more of a flame maple top that beautiful than is absolutely necessary.
I vote no pickguard. Furthermore, take off that silly plastic surround around your pickup selector switch. You know where rhythm and lead are.

Re: pcikguasrd or no pickguard?
Since the pickguard holes are drilled, leave the guard. And go with two zebras.
I'd only leave a pickguard off on the rare Gibsons that didn't drill for them. That's my only reasoning on the pickguard.
