Detail 01
M5-style shape
A specific teardrop outline. It will not follow the edge of every acoustic guard, so shapes differ brand to brand.

ProlineAcoustic M5-Style Pickguard Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A black replacement pickguard cut in the M5 acoustic outline, for players covering pick scratches or restoring a worn guard on a dreadnought-style top.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Covering pick wear on a bare or scratched acoustic top
- Replacing a lifting, curling, or discolored original guard
- Cheap cosmetic refresh on a beater acoustic
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical or nylon-string guitars, which use different shapes
- Anyone needing an exact factory match for a specific model
- Electric guitars — this is cut for acoustic tops
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Black finish
Hides pick marks better than tortoise or clear, but shows dust and swirl scratches on a gloss top.
Detail 03
Acoustic-cut
Shaped to sit beside the soundhole below the strings, not around an electric's pickups and controls.
Detail 04
$9.99 accessory
Priced as a consumable cosmetic part, not a precision-matched OEM replacement.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my dreadnought?
It fits guitars using the M5 outline. Measure your existing guard or the bare area beside the soundhole and compare against the shape before ordering.
02How do I take the old pickguard off?
Warm it gently with a hair dryer and peel slowly with a plastic tool. Go slow — pulling cold guards can take finish or wood fibers with them.
03Does a pickguard change the sound?
Adding mass to the top can slightly damp it, but at this size and thickness the difference on most acoustics is minor.
04Can I use this on an electric guitar?
No. It is cut for an acoustic top and has no openings for pickups, controls, or a switch.
