Any guitar protector sheets recommended?
So I usually use a pick and I'm quite heavy handed. Is there anything I can put in my guitar to protect it from scratches?

I installed a clear stick on standard looking pick guard on my RainSong.

Isn't carbon fiber supposed to be impervious to most physical damage? I would think the most you would have to do is either buff or wipe off any marks if you decide to sell the guitar at some point.

The surface is probably clear coat paint, but still that will wear away. I have used carbon fiber for 25 years in many things, and it is much more vulnerable to certain things, and much more resilient to certain things than other materials. Crush/impact? Carbon is very weak unless it was designed for it. Flex? Carbon is extremely weak, unless designed for it, and then it has zero fatigue. Stiffness? Carbon cam be ridiculously stiff, yet flexible, when designed so. It's a great material, but it is not invulnerable. |

This is certainly possible, as I have seen both flatpickers and fingerpickers do it. Tony |

I first put a static pick guard on a Taylor with a lovely tobacco burst finish years ago. Like this...
https://www.guitarcenter.com/Taylor/...caAswwEALw_wcB It did the job - the guitar still looks like new. I changed my pick attack from my younger years and really don't have an issue with that these days. Most carbon fiber guitars that have a gloss top have an automotive type finish. Carbon Fiber isn't impervious to damage. If you drag a pick repeatedly across a carbon fiber hood of a race car, it will eventually scratch. |
