I also ordered a "Standard" truss rod cover, even though I think they charge too much. I just like the look. I thought they'd included one in the case, but nope - a second blank one.
Looks great, serious Les Paul 'KM' model vibes. Thx for posting follow-up pics, enjoy!

Both look great, but pick guard on for me. Plus, you don’t want to mess up that beautiful guitar from pick-rash (new term).
Yeah, I usually like the pickguards on too. Like @Aahzz says, it adds some contrast to the guitar. LPs just look more classic with the guard and poker chip on. Kind of like a two tone '56 Chevy or something.The guard went back on this morning, for 2 reasons. First, I do think it looks better with the guard - it adds some visual contrast that I think makes the exposed grain pop more. Second, and more important, I like to anchor my pinky on it, it's a super comfy spot for that.
I just think it needs proper reflectors, those newer ones look like ass to me, they don't really reflect. These are much better....I like the poker chip. I might agree with you on the reflectors, they may get replaced with speed knobs.
These look pretty good.I fully agree on the newer reflector knobs Gibson is using, the older style knobs are a must!
