Scratch Pad Velvet Guitar Finish Protector Red

This is a great idea and avoids scarring your instrument with buckle rash. The gel backing adheres quite well for a while, but becomes less secure with time. You can restore the adherence to some degree by rubbing the gel surface with rubbing alcohol and letting it dry, but after a few treatments that becomes less effective. However, I think you can probably get two or three years worth of use out of one pad, depending on how much you're using the instrument. It's definitely a worthwhile investment.

It may just be the way my brain works, but I don't see the point in preserving what you can't enjoy. It's like, keeping a cookie sealed forever so it will last longer but then you don't eat it. Like, sure you keep it from being scratched but you also can't see it with that thing on anyway, and most people wouldn't see the back of your guitar unless it's like, break down time. I guess it would be handy if I thought I was going to sell it and wanted to keep it fresh but if you were just buying to sell again why bother playing it? I'm not saying it's dumb and I hate it, I just don't get it. I'm not the kind of guy who would care about something like this anyway so it's not really fair for me to talk. I worry more about my sound and the condition of my gear rather then scratches and dings. But.... whatever. It does do what it's supposed to so if you want that you get it. So 5 stars anyway.

Glad I bought this!!! not only it help protecting my Les Paul guitar but man, it added beauty to my Les Paul even value! I am a skeptical person when comes to just about anything and everything, but this protector really shined through. I higly recommend this product. If you really and truly love your guitar - get it!

Even though I stoped wearing belts when I started gigin with my new bass, I didn't think about the pocket rivets on my jeans until it was too late. On the bright side, I know I won't ever have to worry about ANY kind of rash ever again.

This is great for any guitar that you want to protect. I always had a problem with my belt scratching up the back of my guitars, but with this pad that no longer happens. Easy to use, comes on and off quickly, and doesn't effect your playing or the positioning of the guitar. I wish every guitar came with a pad like this. No need to worry about scratching when your rocking out.

this pad is easy to use and i take it off one guitar and put it on whatever guitar i'm jammin' on. the over all size is good, it protects all the area's i usally ware out. TIP: it makes an awsome tech pad for when i change my strings...i use an open box of kleenex to support the neck and i put the pad on the table to support the body :) this is something that i wish was around seven guitars ago...but i just purchased a new tele and it is being protected with a scratch pad...you guys rock
