Members steve_man Posted December 21, 2006 Members Posted December 21, 2006 Okay, my Guild GAD-40CE came with a clear pickguard on it (I bought it used). The new ones on the Guild site have a tortoise shell guard on them, and I think I like that better. I know I can get one from Guild. My question is, how do you get the old pickguard off without damaging the finish of the guitar? Any help would be great!
Members Freeman Keller Posted December 21, 2006 Members Posted December 21, 2006 Assuming it is the kind put on with double sticky tape as most new ones are, usually a little heat from a hair drier will do the trick. You can clean up the old glue residue with lighter fluid. Here is the whole proceedure http://p082.ezboard.com/ftheunofficialmartinguitarforumfrm2.showMessage?topicID=5519.topic
Members steve_man Posted December 22, 2006 Author Members Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks. Yeah, the guitar is pretty new, so I'm guessing that's how it was put on.
Members johbren Posted December 22, 2006 Members Posted December 22, 2006 I taken sevaral pickguards off several guitars some a few years old and one was around 20 years old. Use a hair dryer and just take your time and it will come off. use some naptha to removel the old glue.
