If you never plan on selling it, I would take it off. I personally couldn't careless if it got scratched, but thats just me.

It has a clear one on right now. The second pic is just a pickguard rested on top. So either way, it's not gonna get scratched.

Yeah, I dig the clear pickguard on Larrivee's. I would leave the other pickguard off. What do you use to stick that other one on there?

It's close, but I think I like the look of the pickguard, but it's too broad. So I vote leave the clear one.
