The LP pokerchip, yay or nay?

[DrewJD82]

Yesterday was the Edwards turn for a spa day and after adjusting the pokerchip for the 100th time I thought, “I should just take the fucker off!” and while it’s not a huge cosmetic change, I find myself digging it quite a bit. I’m tempted to take it off the Orville to see how it looks now.

You keep ‘em on or off?

I like it without.

Beautiful LP!

Also, the gold hardware looks badass on that guitar.

I don’t play it nearly enough for how great of a guitar it is. I really need to yank the EMG’s out of it. I spent more time trying to dial the EMG out of the amps yesterday than I did actually recording with it.

And I dunno if it’s a Gotoh thing, but seems their hardware is usually a touch bolder in color than other gold hardware I’ve seen.

Nay, poker chip, thats a Gibson thing

 

[Achilles]

Absolutely on.

 

[sleewell]

Thats sexy af

For that guitar off. If you had covered pickups instead of EMG's I'd do on.

That guitar is amazing!

I am trying not to notice the EMGs.




I wonder how and if the binding will age and start to yellow at some point.

The poker chip is an ugly piece of cheap plastic.

I was thinking that, too. I’ll be putting gold covers back on it eventually and the chip might be the carpet that pulls the whole room together then.

Hope so! Seems the older ones I’ve seen on Reverb tend to age. I wish the whole thing were nitro instead of poly!

I dig the poker chip if it’s something traditional, like say, a burst with cream plastics.

On your specific guitar, definitely omit! Looks even more menacing without it.

Also, while I regret the EMG’s, I still have the JB and ‘59 sitting in a drawer and haven’t rushed to put them back in.

You got a thing with circles today or what?

 

[MTB1973]

I had to google LP poker chip…

I must have missed the LP Pickguard Yay or Nay? thread.

 

[the-trooper]

Depends, are you a sociopath who hurts little animals and writes music in keys with flats?
If yes, keep it on. Put a pickguard on it as well.

Hahhah pretty sure I took that off before I even pulled it out of the case. I'm not a fan of them on LP's at this point in time. Maybe next year.

It’s “nay”.
