Funny, I'm going to put a pickguard on my Gibson ES333. To that point, I think it is a matter of personal taste. I don't think it really matters with performance. Good pickups and all that jazz matter more that whatever possible impact the pickguard wold have and to my mind, I doubt that would have any impact.
