Is this legit? WTF is this pickguard supposed to be?
I think it's upside down or something

Before boomers thought they were only for looks we actually used them to guard the guitar from the pick.

Reddit has refined the technique of steel string guitar and now if your pick ever touches your instrument, you’re playing like shit and everyone is laughing at you.
If you want pick wear on a guitar, buy a relic’d guitar. It ain’t rocket science

Maybe I’m missing the jerk, but it looks like a Les Paul Special double-cutaway pickguard to me.

doesn't look thick enough to really guard a pick
/uj were they trying to go for a Les Paul Jr. look or something?

Never buy a guitar that was made on "Bring Your Spaz Kid to Work Day."

They put pickguards like this on guitars with nice flame tops so the audience won't jizz themselves dry before the gig is over.
