LPS 89 : Dressed or Naked

Guys I understand it has been asked countless times in here. But I think the never ending question depends on the top. So, wanted to ask if this particular re-finished top looks better with PG on or naked. Your thoughts? Highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Re: LPS 89 : Dressed or Naked

I like it off on that one. I'd also lose the covers. It'll give it a raw rock and roll look.

On if it already has the holes, I could never bring myself to take a drill to an LP like that

Re: LPS 89 : Dressed or Naked

I'd leave the pickguard on (never been a fan of the no PG look except for certain models/finishes, so maybe I'm biased) but I'd take off the pickup covers.

Not totally naked, but more like topless; or bottomless, depending on your preferences...

Re: LPS 89 : Dressed or Naked

whichever you prefer.

i think it looks better off.

but...

i actually use the pick guard to help me guide the pick. when i play LP's without guards sometimes i strike too far under the strings on upstrokes and knock the pick out of my hand. so it's kind of a guide for me, it actually has a function. for me, ymmv.

damn nice guitar.
