^I approve of that one.

Always switch rings and always pick guards, in my opinion only. To me, that's a proper Les Paul. However, everyone should outfit their guitar any way they wish.

I left the poker chips on my LP & SG. I didn't install them on my Explorer or 335.

My Les Paul's all have them

My Dean Cadillacs do not

Only Gibson's are supposed to have switch rings. IMO of course.

It would be awesome if that guitar had a Pearly Gates in the neck and a Black Winter in the bridge.

On Gibby's and Epi's only IMO.

Not on any modernized versions from other companies.

I have one on my Epi Bonanassa that has "On" for the bridge, and "Off" for the neck.

Depends on the guitar. Left it on my goldtop. Took it off my Dean Z.

I like poker chips

I think they look fine on an SG, but they really set off an LP. I think they balance pickup rings or a pickguard. I’ve been looking at LPs long enough that the ring just looks normal.

Yeah, but you're a pain in the arse rebel that often runs contrary to the expected norm. It makes you, well, you.

Love ya buddy!!!

I've left them on my Les Pauls that came with them. The Supremes came without them...it would be a shame to cover up any of the flame on those tops.

I took it off my Epiphone LP, but I’m not gonna take it off the ‘62 LP/SG.

Re: Poker Chips? Stand up and be counted!

Don't hate them, but I think most look better without them. Left the one on my SG, my 335 never had one, and generally prefer Les Pauls without them. And cannot figure out for the life of me why it matters to me that other people know my thoughts on this topic.
Pickguards also gotta go. I take them off, then reinstall before reselling.
