Members Jkater Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 That sure would look pretty. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members S~R~O Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Except they muffle the flexing of the top and inhibit the sound quality, making it sound a little paper-ish (cardboard), although that's not a bad thing if your looking for that cigar-box kinda guitar sound.

Members mjuenem Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 I especially like the fluttery wing-beat sound they add while playing Freebird and such. If you stick an entire pad on there they work for bar orders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gary Palmer Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 I prefer play-doh pickguards as they lend a little more weight to my Esteban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CanIBDom Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Sure would be convenient for audience members to write out requests and stick them on your guitar. Maybe the new joke would be to write and stick "Freebird" instead of shouting it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stick an entire pad on there they work for bar orders too.Or, if you want to get fancy, you can write your lyrics on them and do a Bob-Dylan-Subterranean-Homesick-Blues-cuecard-type-thing while you play Seriously though, I'm not a fan of pickguards. If I had an expensive guitar, maybe I'd worry, but a few scratches don't trouble me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Melodeous Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 I prefer play-doh pickguards as they lend a little more weight to my Esteban. Great way to hold a pick too when switching between flat and fingerpicking. Good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxorox Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Mmm... works OK. But for good looks and durability, I'll stick with duct tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knockwood Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 I prefer a stale pancake. I used to do this, but the syrup messed with my up-stroke so I switched to pickguards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rjoxyz Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 I used to do this, but the syrup messed with my up-stroke so I switched to pickguards. See, that's why I don't use syrup. But, when I say "my guitar plays like butter"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
