Pickguard
Henrik

Any transparent pick guards that could be recommended. I fancy the eloctrstatic ones but have heard they could mess up the finish if left on long enough or leave a residue. Any thoughts?.
Comments
One of the things about learning gypsy picking is that you will find that you don’t really need a pick guard, Henrik.
Most gypsy jazz guitars don’t have one for that reason.
Weird at first, I know, but you will soon get used to it.

Ye hard to get used to........i sound pretty clumsy!
I use cellphone screen protector. iPhone 7 or similar for a sake of a larger screen but old enough where it's very cheap. Easy to out on, easy to take off, never any signs something was on there once removed.
Too bad they don't make these in tortoise shell ?
Are you able to share a link of an example please?
I ordered this last time, 4 for $6.50
A golpeador (used on flamenco guitars) should serve fine. My Michael Dunn and Goodall both have them--at least, the clear plastic applied in pickguard position sure looks like a golpeador.
