I'm removing a self-stick tortoise pickguard (cheap) from my 2013 Martin 000-28vs acoustic guitar and replacing it with a clear pickguard (scratch plate) using a Frank Ford technique.

To remove the pickguard, I use a hairdryer, some naphtha, and some patience.

To install the clear pickguard, I'm using the Frank Ford technique where I put a bit of water/soap solution on the guitar top and then lay the pickguard into it and squeeze out the bubbles. It works like a charm!
