I found the answer...It was really easy to take my taylor pickguard off, with a hair dryer, So i need to use something to that effect (3M double side permanent tape) and i can always take the pickguard off.....permanent 3M, i was told will come off using a hair dryer and it wouldnt, dry so hard to shrink the top wood, which as been a big problem in the past...Solo

You can buy small quantities and different adhesions of the 3m sheets from Stew Mac. Get enough to do 3 or so, there is a bit of a frustrating learning curve
