Has anyone tried the Rokkomann or Kling-On top protectors? |

I've used them both, as well as bulk static cling vinyl like this: http://www.dickblick.com/products/grafix-static-cling-sign-vinyl/. The ones I've used are not as hard and protective as a real golpeador or pick guard, but they do a good job of preventing stray nail marks. They can be left on a shellac finish indefinitely. Don't leave them on a nitro finish for any length of time (More than a few hours?), or they may eat the finish. Take the time to fit them neatly to the soundhole and bridge, and they are hard to notice. |

Thanks Eric, this is for a french polished guitar. What do you know about using them on a finish that is only a few weeks old. I know the Kling-On says to only use on finishes that are cured for 6 months. I don't know what Rokkomann recommends. I read a very old post on the Delcamp forum that said Jeffrey Elliot likes the Rokkomann but the post was from years ago. |

Not relevant to the original post, but these can leave marks on Epifane's varnish. Pat |

I haven't had any issues. |
