do I add a pickguard?
I just bought a pretty new Takamine ETN10c. It doesn't have a pick guard. Would you add one? I'm not sure what to do.

Cedar-topped guitars are going to show wear, so yes, I would add a pickguard. Plus, it's a dreadnaught and IMO, dreadnaughts look off without a pickguard.

cool pick guard
Along with this question, is there any place to get a unique/cool looking pick guard?

Forget Steward MacDonald
You sure do need a pickguard if you strum, and strum hard.
If you play fingerstyle, it's less necessary. I have gotten Martin pickguards on eBay, and they had (maybe still do) the classic Martin-issue teardrop pickguard in a variety of models. However, if you want to add a cool tortoise-like pickguard, then go to Maury's Music and check out the Greven Tor-Tis pickguards. They cost a lot, but they look great. Avilable in dreadnought size and also the smaller OM style, in a variety of colors and patterns. Whatever you get, don't get black. It's just too severe. Unless, of course, your guitar happens to be black. |
wood pick guard?
I'm seeing some very nice looking wood pick guards. Any experience? I'm wondering if they would dampen the sound at all.

I am always partial to the Greven. (GR-D28 @ first quality music):
