Update: There is no adhesive of any kind. Useless. I had to trim mine, so no return is possible. Taylor site lists this "Pickguard, Static Universal, Reusable universal electrostatic pickguard." The Amazon page description by the seller doesn't make this clear.

I like this protection cover that Taylor put out. I have a bad habit of letting my fingernails getting into the tops of my guitars, especially the cedar tops. These can be placed over the area. They are transparent and can easily be peeled off and put on at will.If you have a problem keeping your tops from getting dented, struck with fingernails or just want to protect this area, these are for you.Please check if there is any issue covering your finish. Mine are French polished and it doesn’t seem to harm the finish. Easy to redo anyway.

I just got it and applied it. I haven’t played with it on yet but it seems like it will protect my guitar just fine. I think it could work on a lot of guitars and I put it on a Takamine EG540C. Some people complain about bubbles, but if you take the cardboard that came on the package and fold it so it has a slightly rounded edge you can push out most, if not all, of the bubbles. I still have some bubbles left but you almost can’t see them now so I stopped pushing them out so I could play. I can’t give it 4.5 stars or I would but it seems almost perfect. And I picked it up and put it down a few times to get it in the right spot . I’m excited to have the protection as I bought this guitar used and it has a little wear where the guard should have been. The two pictures of my guitar show the actual pick guard applied. The third picture is from the product description just to show the shape, which is hard to see, but it’s not a rectangle which you might think if just you looked at the product pics without studying them. Taylor might sell more if people could easily see the shape because nobody wants a big rectangular pick guard. Easy to apply and reapply so if you need one just buy it.

Not the same size as the factory pickguard I removed. Works best on gloss top guitars.

PRSギターの為、元々ピックガードはないので練習時に使用しています。ボディ表情の良い楽器なのでやたら隠すのも勿体ないので貼ったり剥がしたりのモノが必要でした。エレキなのでサウンドホールもないのですがシートをギターに合わせてカッティングして使っています。その為シートが2枚必要。品物のイメージは薄い透明のデスクシートの様な感じでしょうか。

Had to cut it to shape and it doesn't actually stick to the guitar. Waste of money.

It doesn't stop you getting a good sound from tapping the guitar. That's the good.The package arrives with no instructions for effectively applying it, and it literally is just a piece of plastic film for nearly ten quid.It's pretty visible and doesn't look great at all...well, it looks like you've got a piece of cheap plastic film stuck to the front of your guitar. Because you have.I'm probably going to ditch it and just accept that my guitar will get slowly roughed up by my nails.

Ideal, just what I wanted. unobtrusive and easy to apply and remove. Adheres to the guitar without any problems.

Does exactly what it says it does. It clings to the guitar and protects it from the pick. My Taylor has a satin finish and it *does* have a pick guard, but I play pretty aggressive rhythm and the small area between sound hole and where the plastic guard starts was starting to get some wear (I've only had the guitar for two months!) so I knew I had to do something. I purchased the guitar at Guitar Center and was told there wasn't anything like this pickguard- I'm happy I didn't take his word for it! I'm thinking about purchasing another one for above the sound hole as well.

Before buying this, I'd seen reviews with complaints that it doesn't stick properly, or that it curls up like you see in the picture. I did not find this to be the case. I found it to be a great pick guard, and it stays put. I suspect it's adhesive qualities would diminish if I were to take it on and off repeatedly, but there's no need to do that.It is almost totally invisible on my blond spruce top, and provides very good protection. I also bought one for a black enamel spruce top, on which the guard is more visible, but only because I have not yet taken the time to push out the air bubbles I caught underneath it as I installed it.Also, I think it interferes less with the projection of sound than a thicker plastic pick guard would. It would be nice to see Taylor test that theory empirically. They might sell more of them.

元々はTaylorのジャンボやドレッドノートタイプ用のデザインのようですが、ウェスタンタイプでなくても、いわゆるフォークギター等の小ぶりのボディーのものでも問題ないと思います。今回、ピックガードが無く、塗装がグロスフィニッシュのK.YairiのRFシリーズを購入して、ピックのスクラッチ傷防止のためにピックガードを検討したのですが、このTaylorの自己吸着フィルム（プラスチックの板なのではなく、まさにフィルムです）は申し分ないです。 セルロイド等の板を両面テープ等で貼り付けるいわゆるピックガード・ゴルベ板も検討しましたが（、等）、両面テープ等で貼り付けるときにもし万が一失敗したり、後々剥がしたくなったりしたときのことを考えると（ギターに与えるダメージを最小限に留めておくという意味で）、やはり、（ある程度のギターのリペア等は自分でできるのですが）専門の修理工房等にお願いすべきだろうと思い、あくまでも素人が気軽にという場合にはこのフィルムが最適だなと判断しました。また、他にも自己吸着式のものが（もう少し安い価格で）あるようですが（、）、そちらは（貼れば透明になるのでしょうが）一見した感じは半透明のもののようで、このTaylorのものは本当に透明のフイルムでした。デザインというか、私にとって傷を防いで欲しい場所を効率よくガードしてくれる形としてもTaylorのものの方が良いと思い、こちらにしました。 上手く貼れば、本当に付けているのが分からないぐらいです。上手く貼るには若干コツが必要ですが、自己吸着式の液晶ディスプレイ保護フィルムを貼り慣れている私にとっては割と普通に貼れました（そういう意味では液晶ディスプレイ保護フィルムと同じような感じです）。まだ装着したばっかりで、剥がして洗浄してからの再貼付ではどの程度のものかが分かりませんが、液晶ディスプレイ保護フィルム等の経験から、ある程度は問題ないのかなと思ってます。 今貼り付けているギターはポリウレタン塗装なので問題は無さそうですが、（注意書きにもありますが）ラッカー塗装等のデリケートな塗装だと、長時間貼り付けていると問題あるでしょうね。また、今回はグロスフィニッシュだったので迷わずこの商品を購入して、よくくっついているし、ほとんど目立たないし、ピックのスクラッチ傷等は防いでくれそうだし、とても満足していますが、トップの塗装がサテンフィニッシュの場合には使えるのかどうか分かりません…。 ただ、値段がちょっと高めなので星４つです。それと、どうやら流通量は少ないようで、あまり見かけないのが難点ですかね。
