Re: Pickguards, or not?
Neither of mine came with one. After a few years of playing I was curious and had an abbreviated one added to one. I loved it and added one to my other mandolin. Because of their small size they are floating, held by pins, and are detachable so no anchors on the free end. Easy to reverse if I change my mind or sell to someone who isn't as enlightened. I think they help ME play better, protect the top, and look cool.
But I understand not everyone feels the same. Its completely a matter of individual preference.
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
