I would think that applying anything to the top of a guitar will decrease its ability to vibrate to a greater or lesser extent. The smaller the top, it seems, the greater the "dampening" would be. Given that, when I had a Rainsong H1100N2, I put a pick guard on and thought it still sounded great. FWIW I was inclined to use a solid black pick guard not a patterned one because of the pattern of the guitar itself...
