I have a FG700MS, and a strip of plastic is peeling off on the tortoise-shell pickguard, and I dunno if I'm meant to peel it off or not! LOL! It's quite new and I don't want to break it or anything, so does anyone know?
If its just a see-through sticky plastic film that's like a giant see-through sticker covering the surface of the pick guard, it's been put there to protect the finish on the pick guard when it's in a shop or being transported. It's meant to be taken off cos it's just there to keep things clean until somebody buys it. It won't affect the guitar if you leave it on, cos I bought a Les Paul and after a few weeks I taught the pick guard paint was blistering but when i pulled at it....It was a protective plastic sticker that Gibson had put on it.
It's meant to come off. Most new guitars have them, to protect the pickguard during shipping and in the store.
