Bro. Dun think too much abt it. I for one thinks it has quite a nice finshing.

 

[teleplayer]

you can try removing the pickguard. may be nicer.

 

[dudelove]

and yes, i like the finish..

it'll grow on u lah dont worry

 

[bryan1234]

[RyanZ]

[LadyInTears]

LOL!

Things like weight and color you'll get used to after playing the guitar awhile (;

Dont wry about it.

Yep, you'll forget about it soon. Your trans amber, however, has a pretty wicked looking finish. They both look nice, IMO.

Actually thats really nice.You can see those flamey lines and the match book lines down the middle.

im afraid taking out the pickguard may affect the finish when im strumming

 

[superpotato_30]

Hmm, the pickguard removed light scratches on the finish are inevitable..

( Depends alot on the individual for severity of the scratches )

My Gibson never had its pickguard drilled into its body, however scratches are v v minimal. It depends alot on the individual actually. If you're willing to sacrifice slight cosmetics for visual eyecandy then removing the pickguard is your option.

However if you rather cosmetics over eyecandy then keep the pickguard on is your option.

My orville is fitted with its pickguard yet my gibson is not. Its entirely up to your playing style and what youre looking for.

Same here. The sound would be affected too. The body would not resonate as much as it would without the pickguard drilled (;
