Scratch Pad
®
is an attractive, NON-ADHESIVE, REMOVABLE guitar finish protector which is easily applied, removed and re-applied to another guitar in seconds. Easily cleans up with an alcohol wipe or lint free cloth and rubbing alcohol.
Scratch Pad's multi-layered design shields your guitar from the scratches, dings and impact-divots which are caused by belt buckles, buttons, zippers, snaps, pocket rivets and... the abrasive effect of denim.
Scratch Pad's "Sof-Cling"
TM
technology allows Scratch Pad to cling gently but securely to your guitar or bass WITHOUT the use of adhesives, elastic bands or vinyl films.
Manufacturer designed to accommodate most electric body styles and covers only what's considered to be the hot spots for scratches. The full body cover that some sell are way thicker than need to be and may cause a difference in tone that resonates with wooden body guitars.
*********************************** Important Info from the Manufacturer ***************************************
Q: Is Scratch Pad compatible with my instrument's finish?
A 1.)   Acrylic:
Because the vast majority (approx. 85%) of guitars are manufactured with acrylic finishes, Scratch Pad has been developed specifically to accommodate, and has been found to be
compatible with all acrylic (polyurethane, polyester)
finishes
.
A 2.)  Nitrocellulose:
A small percentage of guitars are manufactured with a lacquer known as Nitrocellulose. Although not recommended for prolonged exposure, Scratch Pad has been tested and found to be compatible with
MOST
nitrocellulose formulas. Certain nitrocellulose formulas may require as much as a year or longer to fully cure. Because it would be impossible to test all nitrocellulose finishes, it is recommended that you
consult with your instrument's manufacturer regarding THE STABILITY OF THEIR NITROCELLULOSE FINISHES
.
NOTE:
NITROCELLULOSE MANUFACTURERS ADVISE AGAINST
PROLONGED
EXPOSURE WITH
ANY
MATERIAL (guitar picks, guitar straps, guitar stands, etc.) WHICH WOULD RESTRICT AIR FLOW TO A NITROCELLULOSE FINISH. SCRATCH PAD, LLC EXTENDS THIS WARNING BY INSTRUCTING USERS TO
NEVER STORE A NITROCELLULOSE FINISHED INSTRUMENT IN A STORAGE CASE WITH THE SCRATCH PAD APPLIED.
NOTE:
Your local Guitar Retailer can also be helpful in determining the type of finish (Polyurethane or Nitrocellulose) which has been applied to your instrument.
NOTE:
When not in use, Scratch Pad should be stored on the release liner (backing) which was supplied with your Scratch Pad. The release liner will keep your Scratch Pad free from dust and other contaminants.
A 3.) French Polish,
developed in the 16th Century, French Polish refers to a thin, hand rubbed application/s of Shellac.  With the exception of a few custom guitar manufacturers and Luthiers, virtually all instrument manufacturers discontinued the application of French Polish by the 1920s.  However,
due to the delicate nature of French Polish, Scratch Pad is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR FRENCH POLISH FINISHES
