Location: south east Michigan | Putting a pick guard on an Ovation is just wrong in so many ways.
Please ... don't do it. |

Location: CT | I would rather have a scratched up Ovation - that's called 'mojo' - than an ugly pickguard. If it were an $8,000 Olsen, or something else, I would reconsider just for the monetary value. Ovations are meant to be played though. If you must, get one of those temporary clear plastic stick-ons. Just look around on ebay or the web to find one with a black pickguard, and then try to keep your lunch down |

Location: Scotland | Here's a UK dealer who stocks clear self adhesive pickguards. Anything but clear ruins the look of an Ovation
