Detail 01
Tortoise shell pattern
Mottled brown and amber. Reads traditional against sunburst and natural tops, busy against solid black or white finishes.

ProlineTortoise Shell Acoustic Pickguard Tortoise Shell
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tortoise shell pattern pickguard for acoustic guitars. Protects the top from pick wear and changes the look of a plain soundhole area.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strummers wearing a scratch pattern into a bare top
- Restoring a guitar whose original pickguard lifted or fell off
- Warming up the look of a plain natural or sunburst top
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Electric guitars — the shape and mounting differ entirely
- Fingerstyle players with no pick contact on the top
- Anyone unwilling to trim or test-fit before committing
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
Acoustic-specific shape
Cut to sit below the soundhole where a flatpick lands. Electric pickguards mount with screws and will not transfer.
Detail 03
Adhesive-backed
Sticks directly to the finish, so placement is close to one-shot. Dry-fit and mark before peeling the backing.
Detail 04
Thin plastic sheet
Takes pick scratches so the finish underneath does not, and it flexes enough to follow a slight top arch.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Dry-fit against your soundhole and body outline — acoustic shapes are not universal
- 02Clean and dry the top first; oils and polish keep adhesive from holding
- 03Removing it later can lift finish on older or thin-nitro tops
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my acoustic guitar?
Fit depends on your body shape and soundhole position. Lay it on the top and check the curve against your soundhole and bridge before removing any backing.
02How does it attach?
It adheres to the guitar top. Clean the surface, dry-fit the position, then press from one edge outward to avoid trapping air bubbles.
03Can I remove it later?
It can be lifted, but adhesive left on a finish takes patience and there is real risk of pulling finish on older or thin-lacquer instruments.
04Will it change how my guitar sounds?
Any material added to the top has some damping effect, though a thin pickguard in the standard position is not what most players will notice.
