Title: How can I get an Epiphone Les Paul without a pick guard? Post by: shaved on December 06, 2007, 04:37:12 PM Almost all Les Paul guitars I find online (guitarcenter/ebay/amazon) have pickguards, which I don't particularly like. What's the deal? Can I order them without?

I want it flush, like the Slash model, but not that design. One hole will be close to the neck and the other on the side of the guitar. They're barely visible so you can either leave it open or put the screw back inside. Title: Re: How can I get an Epiphone Les Paul without a pick guard?

The hole is no longer open to the elements (moisture which can make the wood swell, although this seldom happens), and you get a nice glint off it when the lights hit it.
