The pick guard looked pretty nice until I wiped my guitar down for the first time after playing. I always wipe my guitars down with a microfiber towel after playing, and have never had an issue before. The pick guard material is quite thin. That’s probably an ok thing except that the one I received was also quite rough around the outside edge, so it snagged on my towel when I was wiping my guitar down after playing. With the pick guard material is very thin, so when a few of the rough spots snagged on my towel some small chunks were pulled out of the pick guard. Now it’s a bit lighter colored in those spots around the outer edge, and I was not too excited about that look. I’d already removed it when a review request came through via email. On the plus side, the pick guard did remove easily and cleanly with the included removal stick. I’d gladly accept an exchange for a Taylor capo since I’m out a good chunk of money on this pick guard. I've included one photo of the pick guard prior to removal and three after I took it off.
