Pickguard on a Seagull S6+ Folk

A lot of the seagulls didn't have pick guards. My 2004 S series grand doesn't. Later on they started using them then discontinued all the grand or parlor sized guitars.

You would need to fit one , doesn't have to be a seagull one.

I have added a couple of pick guards to instruments and in both cases I did what seagullplayer suggested with a paper template.
The first was an old tenor guitar that was my son Clay's first guitar. When he was 4 or 5 he wanted the pick guard to "make it a Martin". In that case I bought a piece of material from a luthier and cut it out. I used very fine emery paper to smooth the edges. Since this was about 4 decades ago, I don't recall what kind of glue I used, but it's still on there.



My wife gave me an octave mandolin in the eighties and when it started to get fingernail scratches, I decided to add a pick guard.  This time I found a Martin style stick on guard that was big enough to cover the scratches.  I had to modify it to fit the mando and I polished the cut edges with the fine emery paper again,  I was pleased with the results.



I would use the guard you have and modify it to suit your tastes.  Try a few paper template ideas and don't rush.
Have you thought about the clear pick guard material?

Yes agree with what has already been said.
But another option maybe, a clear thin flexible plastic pick guard that used to be quite popular, and can be removerd  easy without with out damage to the guitar.
