Pretty guitar, Jeff! I've never sampled Engelmann paired with Maple, but really like the way it pairs with Mahogany or any type of Rosewood. Enjoy!
That is simply gorgeous. I wouldn’t add a pick guard personally, but that’s based solely on how I think it looks right now. What kind of guard were you thinking?
Was thinking black. But I think I am leaning to not putting one on.
That's a beauty!!!! Try a static cling clear pick guard, until you decide. Its a minimal investment. I use one on my K26. They show up when they are on - they are not invisible , but at least you are not hiding that beautiful top permanently. I strum so I have to have one. If you are finger style player,you can do without...
GC has it right. Try the invisible (but not really) static pickguard, it is inexpensive, and if you don't like it just peel it off and go a different route.
I agree about the static-cling pick guard to protect the finish. I've generally been advised to not leave them on the finish all the time, as the way some finishes react to the plastics can be unpredictable -- and undesirable. Taylor's UV finishes are pretty durable though, so you might be OK in this case.
