I think most people would say that is what a pickguard is for. However, Spieler was relating the question to his 512ce-L30 which does not have a pickguard.
I used to cut window decal sheets to pickguard size, but haven't bothered using them for quite some time since I didn't want to leave them on and eventually, from putting and taking it off, the edges would curl and I'd start hitting it with my pick when it curled up enough.
I may start using them again sometime. I haven't hit the top of my guitar ... but I am quite aggressive on a few guitars ... including a Ryan with a cedar top (I've been thinking about having a pickguard installed, but haven't brought it up yet)... it might not be a bad idea to cover it up a bit.
