Guitar Pickguards
Am I the only one who thinks these cheap pieces of junk are really awful? I see pros with handfuls of them, and they're terrible. I understand the reasoning is that you can stick it on a cheap guitar and make an overpriced pseudo "signed guitar," but I just thing they're tacky and can't really appeal to actual fans. Am I alone here? They're in such wide use that there's obviously a demand.

Personally, I do not own nor have an interest in signed pick guards. But, I do not like signed guitars, tambourines, drum heads, microphones, or baseballs signed by non-sport celebrities either. Just my preference though.

X, loves them, good one!
The people who have these signed are mainly dealers. I read this band would refuse to sign pickguards, so the dealers became crafty and started to matt the guards in ,just to have the band sign. There has to be a big market for them.

They are much easier to carry around. Many stars don't seem to mind as much signing them. Graphers sometimes cover the guards up so guys that wont sign guitars get tricked into signing them. Some stars see a guitar and shut down! Its a funny thing, I guess god forbid somebody either gets a nice keepsake or gets to make some money. Personally I only own a Joe Walsh signed pickguard on a body, it just takes up too much space.

I get that guitars are harder to get, but isn't that the point? I could get an autograph on a sticker and slap it on a photo and called it signed I suppose.

I can go either way on this one. Say - a signed Springsteen guard. I would be all over it. I recently got Angus and Axl on the current AC/DC tour. I really didn't want to be standing their with a guitar in my hand waiting for hours. When they signed did I wish I have that guitar.. heck yea! But I did have some pick guards and they signed.
I agree that signed pick guards on a guitar increase value of the guitars signed on the body… big time.
