Default Need a Clear Golpeador, Where to Buy?

Just bought a guitar that will be used for flamenco.
I want to install a clear golpeador on it.
I haven't the slightest clue where to source a good one.
I wouldn't even know the difference between a good one and a crap one.
Steer me true and thanks!

Check AGF sponsor Strings by Mail here:

https://www.stringsbymail.com/guitar...rotection-361/

Larrivee carries some:

https://www.larrivee.com/shop/clear-pickguard-old-style

I have purchased from both places. You might have to trim the size and adjust for the soundhole radius of your particular guitar.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

If I may also ask, being new to flamenco and open to suggestions...
String recommendations?
Thanks again.

If can find some Luthier Popular Supreme 20 sets, snatch them up. I've played and gigged most, but those are my favorites. They were the strings that Paco endorsed. Once I started using them, I never switched. Which is why when I heard that the owner had passed and doubts the company would continue on. I bought every set that GSI had in stock (18 sets), but I saw a couple of sites that had some in stock. So you may be able to find them somewhere.

Also, I got my last golp from Cordoba. They make a nice stick-on. You can also cut a tablet screen protector to size and shape. I do that to make lifeguards for my steel strings all time.

Found a supplier and just ordered up a half-dozen.

Tablet screen protector, classic!
Thank You, though I'll probably use the Cordoba.
