A Tonare's Tale

Grant, those are superb! You're a lucky man!

What kind of stuff do you play with them?

Aiiiiiiieeeee!

What's a pickguard doing on a PRS acoustic?

My guess would be that it's guarding the top from being torn up by picks.

I like it! Nice mod!

I adapt to my guitars which means I'd change my picking style.

Les,

I play all styles on the Tonares. I find them to be very versatile indeed.

Tabl10s. As for the pickguard, I had some marring on the top from the original owner of the Celtic Tonare and my luthier recommend a pickguard. I kind of assumed (that word again) that he'd install a clear one and I think he assumed I was the one that marred the top. In hindsight I'd just use a static cling guard if I found I was marking the top. It's pretty easy to undo though.

I agree, they're great guitars.

If the pick guard isn't your thing, the PTC at PRS can easily re-spray the top and fix any marring. They're really, really good. The guitar would look like brand new.
