Welcome, 6 string. Your posts will get a lot of attention in the pickguard threads! You'll need some hi-res shots.

Jeeze OVERDRIVER why so hostel?? I'm sorry if Im a little vain about holes in my guitar. If I didnt care how my LP looked I would have got a striped down studio. Thanks Dice you gave me that little push I needed. Without fear of scratches I think I'm gonna take it off again. LOL

Starting a pickguard ON/OFF thread, or a top-wrap thread, is a bit risky around here. You'll see why after you've hung around for a while. But it's all good.

You might be interested to know that some of us have "decided" it's not your pick you have to worry about - it's your fingernails.

I see that. Thanks for the heads up River.

should I take my toggle switch ring off?

:r ofl:

Part of the reason i want an archtop is for a pick guard.... i feel left out with the special with it being all flat and all.....
I would say with them on, but i am biased, ...... its a classic look,
Although it does ruin the burst.....
As for the holes, you can get touch up pens should you wish to do it permanitly,
A site called reranch had them i think.....or was that just spray....

paulygates · 11-21-2008, 02:49 AM

I used to take the pickguard off. I just put the screws in so I didn't lose them. I didn't worry about how it looked. I keep my options open. I keep it on these days. Just to preserve her modesty.

Wasn't tring to be hostel at all I would say I am sorry but don't understand what it is I am sorry for.

LEFTY LES · 11-22-2008, 08:47 AM

No worries man. Since you are a MIK guy I'll forgive you this time. What am I forgiving you for again???

Extremerocker827 · 11-22-2008, 11:13 AM

I got a Epi about a month ago, and I took the pickguard off. I really have had no problem with the hole(well screw cuz I put the screw in), IDK y everyone else is getting all riled up about, I mean its something pretty much only the person playing can see. I just thought of something, if you don't want to get all the materials and stuff and then fill the hole, why don't u just paint it reddish orangish? That would be really easy.

LEFTY LES · 11-22-2008, 04:51 PM

I think unless some new relvelation about the little F in screw holes comes up I think we should kill this thread now. I'm almost sorry I asked!!! C you at the next top wrap thread driver.

Bucknasty · 11-24-2008, 12:40 PM

You just bumped it, dude!

I have a new, seasonal, reason to keep the screw in: you can hang a Christmas ornament from it.

LEFTY LES · 11-25-2008, 04:18 AM

Fa la la la la.......................la la la la

Jay Garrick · 11-25-2008, 05:21 PM

Why not just put a sticker that matches the color of you guitar.From a distance no one can tell.

Stevics · 11-25-2008, 05:40 PM

Top Tip
You could paint the pick guard the same colour as the guitar. LOL

(Or did someone already think of this?)
