<p>The topic about says it all. The 1982 Guild that I'm working on had a crack developing next to the pickguard, which has shrunk just enough to start causing problems (and checking the finish as well.)</p>

<p>I've got it off without much trouble, just a few loose fibers of wood to glue back in place on the top, not a problem.</p>

<p>The pickguard itself is in fine shape and will flatten out nicely, but there are lots of bits of fibers adhered to the back. How do I clean those off without melting the guard itself? Is naptha going to do the trick, or something stronger (and yet still safe)?</p>

<p>I assume that I should put a nice layer of lacquer on the newly exposed area of the soundboard before clamping the whole thing back together. And then it is touchup time - yippee.</p> celluloid acetate vs celluloid nitratetag:fretsnet.ning.com,2009-06-23:2177249:Topic:152792009-06-23T19:27:47.684ZVon Luhmannhttps://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/PickPunch
anyone have comments on the differences of the two materials not for just pick guards and other ornamental applications but also guitar picks. Are most of you guys using the acetate for guitars? We will be adding a large variety of materials to our website and any information or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I was curious what suggestions you may have for me changing out the pick guard on one of my guitars. I have quite a few different types of celluloid materials relating to my company and thought I might replace the original with a differnt style pick guard. Is this completely reversible and if not what kinds of problems should I expect doing this. I am not normally the kind to play around with a good thing but I would like to try this if there is small to no risk. The guitar is spruce top and has the typical tortoise shell pick guard on it.
