Im fat too so I have to make sure my guitar don’t slide my belly lol

It has a lot of very light scratches from my 2,3and 4 fingers when I strum. they are hardly noticeable and might even polish out.

It is a very pretty wood, plus the sound hole has the abalone accents so I wouldn't want to cover that up. I've played it every day since I got it and I'm not seeing any scratches so I think it'll be okay. 

Looking at the pick guards on my Martin and Taylor I see a lot of scratches on them. Guess I'm just playing the Alvarez more gently than the other guitars. 🙂

We all played it, including a friend who bangs out very loud bluesy things in a heavy strum. By the end the guitar was covered in scratches where the pick guard goes. He was not a happy guy i can tell you that. He went and bought a guard, but the damage had already been done.

No big deal it it's a keeper, but a big deal if you want to sell. And besides, I like most pick guards and if you get to choose your own, that's even better.
