It was Friday night, I went downtown, came back early. Surfing, I saw a picture of Thin Lizzy on stage, with the cherry LP sans pickguard. I looked at my Deluxe, found a screwdriver and unveiled it.
This morning, I walked into my office, saw what I had done. So I took some pictures :)
I think somewhere in the myriad packing boxes is a carton of crayons. I'm thinking of trying to put some wax in the screw hole by the fingerboard.

|Very cool. |Do you have any pics with it on, to compare side-by-side?
I did that on my Heritage H150 - and my LP Std didn't come with it on from the factory, so I never installed it.
Personally, I think that bursts look better without the PG, but solid colors look betteer with it on.

That's sweet, Dan! I love that guitar no matter how you've got it dressed. I'll bet it sounds excellente.

A couple of guys I know just installed a short #4 pickguard screw into the hole then painted the screw head with some matching red lipstick. Seems like it worked hokay and the mod is totally reversible.Originally Posted by DanTheBluesMan

lipstick or nail polish? I thought about taking the pickguard screw and putting a dab of nail polish on it. Think it would be too long for the hole?

My bad, I meant nail polish.
