Clear pickguard removal

Jazzaferri

The tips of two of my fingers often brush the top when Inam soloing....probably a reference thing.....I'm glad my guitars have Mylar protective film in that area.

OK, OK! I'm letting it go! Haha. Thanks for the input. I just really don't like the way it looks!

What matters most is how it plays

Which is fantastic!

It will look a lot worse if you take it off and the wood on the soundboard gets all trashed....

@Stringswinger great story and I'm now totally convinced to leave it alone! Same model and maybe year as mine makes this like kismet! Thanks for the post.
If I could actually play the guitar, sound might make a difference.
Love your stuff and Paul's!

Its always possible to make everything look great, but what price glory ?

The more y'all talk, the more attractive that clear plastic becomes! In fact, I love it!

I was a bit lucky with my flattop but as the pick guard was quite thick it did open up a bit after removal

I've heard stories of folks getting repainting and refinishing jobs and hating the sound afterwards. Not willing to risk that on any good guitar.
