Anyone put a pickguard on an Emerald X20?
Could you post a picture of it?

Re: Damping, if you designed one something like that in to the build, it shouldn’t be any worse than the dampening effect of all that heavy wood veneer some people seem to love ! |

On a serious note, if you are really worried about scratching the diamond hard Emerald finish, then I should think these would take a static cling vinyl guard really well.
Someone was discussing these elswhere on the forum and apparently you can get the stuff quite cheaply in a sheet to cut to shape yourself. Come to think of it, I have seen vinyl guitar wrap on eBay, in a fake carbon fibre finish, you could wrap the whole guitar in that stuff ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carbon-Fi...KOn1kDX1bsycoA |

Haha nice Long Jon! Drill those holes - haters will say that it will decrease its resale value but don’t listen to them! You do you! 🤣
On a serious note, I was just thinking about normal acoustic pickguard material, maybe just in black?

Hey Alistair, just remember my cut when the long awaited thin-body electro-acoustic TeleX-20 starts selling faster than you can make ‘em.

I'm a relatively aggressive strummer. Has any Emerald owner scratched their finish?

I use metal finger picks with heavy licks with medium strings and had what I thought was almost going to be a mark on my then new gxi. Ordered my Kling-on that day and have never taken it off. Shout out to Strings by mail, one of our sponsors.
