I have an affinity for guitars, in general, that at well worn and/or fixed in a "gypsyish" way. Such as Mondine Garcia using packing tape to hold his Stimer onto his favino. I also heard about Django using a matchbook under the bridge of one of his guitars. Anyone have any good pics or videos or various beat up guitars?

You might want to consider a Rokkomann removable clear pickguard. There is no adhesive used, just a specially treated surface and air pressure. I have been using one for about week, works very well. Stays put, thick enough to protect and comes off very easily. The manufacturer recommends taking it off after each use and warns that long term contact may damage finish, but so far, that just seems like legal boilerplate.
I got it in order to test the often asked question of whether a pickguard affects tone. With a removable guard I could A/B with and w/o repeatedly. And yes, it does make a difference, but very slight. Not enough to make it worth wearing a hole in the top like Willy Nelson's guitar. (did I see a picture of this here recently or was it somewhere else? anyhow, if you are curious, google it, talk about well worn).
