You may still see a "tan line".

NOTE: A "pick guard" is not a guer5ad against pick contact with the top, it is a "scratch-plate" (UK TYerminology) to protect the top from picking hand fingertips/nails.

Anybody who hits the top with a pick, really needs instruction about how to play guitar.

I know tons of players who play with finger picks. They definitely hit the top when using finger picks.

I can relate firsthand what happens when you let your finger picking friend try out your brand new Lowden cedar topped O23c before it gets a clear guard.

That worked for the first inch or so till the section got wider. Then I used a hair dryer on low and very slowly peeled the pickguard back until it came off. I used Naptha to remove the residual glue. This took about 15 minutes to get completely off. Thanks again for all the advice!

Nice:

Did sound open up?

It did for me, when I removed the PG on my J-185ec. I never looked back.
