Sup Bob, I'd say yep. Go ahead...why not? Your a player and you need to keep the instument functional,however, if you dont like the idea, dont. If you are an aggressive picker and already see considerable wear it time to do something to protect your investment. I dont mean run out n attach pick guard to your axe... maybe even (i dare say) look at ones technique. If you decide to go w/ a pick guard, ive used the transparent p.g. material from StewMac. It has worked out nicely for me in multiple applications and ive had no lifting or bubbling(common in cheaper,thinner clear laminates).
Peace,
Jacob

Oh, n real quik, nybody thinkin bout attachin a pickguard to thier axe should keep this in mind...When you attach an adhiesive piece to the top of your axe it WILL mildly impair resonation of the top and WILL slightly effect tone. Not a big deal fer the magnetic guys but def a thought fer piezo fans.
Again, Peace,
Jacob

Yo, Rockerman,

My CBL has more wear on it in the little time I've been playin' it than Ben's has in the couple two 'er three years of him playin' his...

If it were the B-P'r it would be different 'cause its wood.... I don't want to play my Lowebow to pieces... I'm gong with the helmit and the knee-pads...

Bobz, what's the name of Willie Nelson's guitar?

I say just play it till it falls apart. A plastic pickguard on a LoweBow is like you wearing a helmet and knee pads when you learned to ride a two wheeler. You were SPECIAL then, and so was the little bus that picked you up in the morning.

Ben ain't nowhere near wearing his out yet, and you got some catching up to do.

SPANK IT!

You got some miles to go with the Back Porch'r too...

Get to work!

(and look at jacob all scientific)

What's the diff, R-Man??? I mean, on one hand you say that if I put a thin clear plastic laminant about the size of a cigarette pack over where I am playin' my Lowebow to pieces that I', "phuk"in' up John's instrument and on the other hand...

...It's okay to spray it with hair spray or chemicals (poli)???

Hmmmmm???

Me thinks that you have been playin' with the "one holer" again...

(Don't Bogart that joint my friend, pass it over to me...)

lol...

BTW, the plastic laminent is sold for the purpose of being used on instruments... Hair spray ain't...
