My furch durango acoustic has no pick guard and when I play particular pieces the sound of my finger(s) rubbing off the wood below the sound hole can be a slight irritant. Its nothing major but I'd like to know what can be done about it. I've never had this problem with any other guitar and I'm assuming thats because they all had pick guards. If I have one put on is it likely to have a negative effect on sound quality? And is it a big job that should only be done by someone who knows what they're doing, or can I just order a pick guard and adhesive and whip it on myself?
Acoustic pickguards, complete with adhesive are pretty inexpensive -- about $5 US for plain black or faux tortoise from Stewmac.com. They are very easy to apply and don't significantly affect the tone of a steel string guitar.
IIRC, from your other thread, you are looking for a Euro source. One of the GN Euro members should be able to help you with a supplier.

Thanks for the help, I'll check out that site for delivery to Ireland.
