I have a Lanikai S-C. For those not familiar, the whole uke is mahogany, except the top. It has a very light colored Spruce top (with a fresh ding from my little brother). I would like to accent the top (and cover the ding) with possibly a custom mahogany (or other dark wood) pick guard. Nothing huge that would desecrate the instrument. Does anyone on here know if adding a small pick guard would hurt the tone or resonance? What is the best way to attach it? Is it better to use a plastic or formica material instead of wood? Any help is greatly appreciated!! I really love the tone of the uke and will not do anything that sacrifices the sound.
