not on any original Les Pauls. As for others hating it, who cares. If you like it, that's all that matters.

It’s different. Will certainly divide opinion. My advice, take the sticker off the pickguard asap. It’ll sun fade otherwise. I speak from experience.

|Black bunding was never a thing on any originals - though I seem to remember seeing a couple orignals through the years that did have black plastics - PG, pickups rings, etc.
