Sometimes no pickguard....
Just looks better. I usually like most guitars with a pickguard on but for some reason this one just looks better without. It may be the sunburst finish..I don't know but it sure is a looker without the guard.

There's something special about seeing the full burst top of a Gibson. I prefer my Gibsons (Les Pauls) without a pickguard myself.
That's one beauty! How do you like the P-90s?

These come with Gibson P90s
This one is not mine but after seeing this pic I'm pulling my pickguard off my 61 50th anniversary Epiphone Casino.

Do you have coil taps on that bad boy? Is that a Kahler, Wilkinson, Vibromate type trem on there?

Sorry, I disagree. I think they always look better with pickguards and pickup covers. But that's just me.

I'm normally not a pickguard fan, my Les Paul has it removed.
However I'm looking for a pickguard for this 1963 Gibson ES 125T, the original ones are $200-$400. We just got this one home this weekend. Did an unboxing and plugged it in on my YouTube Channel.

I saw this guitar in person last month. It's unique - probably the only one like this around! It's a keeper too.

I took the pickguard off of my Ibanez LGB30. I am 90% a fingerstyle player, and that pickguard was way too high.
It did leave 2 small screw holes - one on the lower bout and one on the soundboard. But playability trumped the looks. I wonder why the guard is so darn high on most archtops?

How does it feel and play now that you've settled in with it?
