What are fender pickguards made of?
Pickguards fitted to acoustic guitars are usually made from thin (2 mm) sheets of plastic (such as PVC), attached with an adhesive just below the sound hole. The material should not be unduly thick or heavy since this might reduce vibration of the soundboard and alter the tone or volume of the instrument.
Are guitar pickguards necessary?
Pickguards are used to protect the finish of your guitar. If you play with a pick and want to preserve the finish of the guitar then a pickguard is necessary. If you don't use a pick and/or don't mind minor scratches or signs of wear from strumming a pickguard isn't strictly necessary.
