This pick guard is a quality product, looks good and is easy to install. I would have given it 5 stars if there was a choice of abalone color. The blue abalone doesn’t quite match the abalone on my guitar and I knew it was a bit of a gamble. For this price that should maybe be an option. Other than that I’m completely satisfied.
This Picard looks better than I believe the original would have appeared on this Taylor guitar that came without a pick guard.
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.
Thalia has made very nice pick guard the one I purchased was a Quiled Buniga for my Taylor and what a difference it made for the whole guitar.
I recently purchased a pickguard and truss rod cover for my Taylor guitar, and overall, I'm very happy with the upgrade. The craftsmanship and aesthetic are stunning—visually, the set elevates the look of the guitar in a way that feels both unique and high-end. If I were rating based solely on artistry, this would be a solid 5 out of 5 stars.
That said, there are a couple of minor functional considerations worth mentioning. The natural wood has a bit of texture to it, so it doesn't have the same ultra-smooth feel as traditional vinyl or the original OEM pickguard. Also, the edges of the pickguard could be slightly more refined—during strumming, they feel a bit sharp and occasionally catch my hand. I imagine I'll get used to it over time, and it's not a deal-breaker by any means.
Despite those small points, this is a beautiful and thoughtfully made product. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars overall, with full marks for design and appearance. If you're looking to give your Taylor a more artistic and personal touch, this is a great choice.
