A pickguard is a protective cover on the surface of a stringed instrument, such as a guitar or mandolin, placed beneath the strings and often around the sound hole. Its primary function is to shield the instrument's body from scratches and damage that can occur from strumming or picking the strings. The pickguard also helps maintain the instrument's appearance and can be made from various materials, including plastic, metal, or wood.
