I had high hopes for these Ortega Flamenco Scratch Plates to complete my brand-new Admira F4EF flamenco guitar, which unfortunately didn’t come with a scratch plate. However, my experience was nothing short of frustrating.First, the packaging in every shipment (I ordered three sets) arrived bent, which was already a bad sign. After doing plenty of research, I thought I was prepared to apply the plates properly and avoid any bubbles. Sadly, no matter what I tried—removing and reapplying, spraying water, rubbing out bubbles with a towel and credit card—bubbles persisted. I even ordered two more sets to give it another shot, but the results were the same: bubble city.In addition to the bubbling issue, the scratch plates themselves felt much thinner than expected and had a strange gummy texture, which made application even more difficult. After a few days, I began noticing indentations on the top of my guitar, likely from either taping on the plates or attempting to smooth out the bubbles. This was heartbreaking, as my new guitar was now damaged.To try and fix the issue, I removed the Ortega scratch plates and opted for a Dopro 25x20cm Black Acoustic Guitar Self Adhesive Scratch Plate Sheet, using the Ortega plates as a template. While it worked to cover up the dents, I ended up with black plates when I originally wanted a transparent one. You can definitely tell it’s a DIY job rather than professionally applied.My advice: steer clear of these Ortega Flamenco Scratch Plates. If your guitar doesn’t come with one, either make sure to get a Cordoba scratch plate from Chicago Music Exchange, or find a local professional to apply one for you.

Fairly easy to install. I've Kling on products that gave 2 smaller pieces. The larger piece was a bit more cumbersome. But over all worked well/

It's a little hard to out on. I'm just not an expert at that. But once it's on there is stays on strong and gives your guitar great protection. I can do all my flashy flamenco strumming without worrying about hurting my guitar now.

After some use I can say it's great. I cut it to make it fit my Cordoba mini ii flamed top. For flamenco practice. For the price you won't find anything like this anywhere. It is a little thin, but it does protect the guitar well. Golpeadores aren't very common, tough to find.

I bought the wrong one (glue vs. electrostatic) because both have the same image (elecrostatic is checked on both). It was my fault for not re-reading the description of the listing. I won't end up using this but it looks like a ver nice glue-on (self-adhesive) pickguard. I'll save it in case I have a need down the road.
