Clear transparent foil for Flamenco style playing. Review: Flamenco style guitar shield. - Great protection for guitar finish. Review: Bubblelicious - I had high hopes for these Ortega Flamenco Scratch Plates to complete my brand-new Admira F4EF flamenco guitar, which unfortunately didn’t come with a scratch plate. However, my experience was nothing short of frustrating. First, the packaging in every shipment (I ordered three sets) arrived bent, which was already a bad sign. After doing plenty of research, I thought I was prepared to apply the plates properly and avoid any bubbles. Sadly, no matter what I tried—removing and reapplying, spraying water, rubbing out bubbles with a towel and credit card—bubbles persisted. I even ordered two more sets to give it another shot, but the results were the same: bubble city. In addition to the bubbling issue, the scratch plates themselves felt much thinner than expected and had a strange gummy texture, which made application even more difficult. After a few days, I began noticing indentations on the top of my guitar, likely from either taping on the plates or attempting to smooth out the bubbles. This was heartbreaking, as my new guitar was now damaged. To try and fix the issue, I removed the Ortega scratch plates and opted for a Dopro 25x20cm Black Acoustic Guitar Self Adhesive Scratch Plate Sheet, using the Ortega plates as a template. While it worked to cover up the dents, I ended up with black plates when I originally wanted a transparent one. You can definitely tell it’s a DIY job rather than professionally applied. My advice: steer clear of these Ortega Flamenco Scratch Plates. If your guitar doesn’t come with one, either make sure to get a Cordoba scratch plate from Chicago Music Exchange, or find a local professional to apply one for you. ## Features - Flamenco Full Top Scratch Plate, Permanent - Adheres Via Self-Glue Peel & Stick Installation - Protects Your Instruments for Scratches and Dings - Includes String Changing Foil (Behind Bridge) - For Gloss & Satin Finishes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B086M56TCS | | Back Material Type | Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,271 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #106 in Acoustic & Classical Guitar Pick Guards | | Body Material | Spruce | | Body Material Type | Spruce | | Brand | Ortega Guitars | | Brand Name | Ortega Guitars | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 23 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840553027785 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | S | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Protection Foil | | Item Dimensions | 7.48 x 4.72 x 0.39 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.48"L x 4.72"W x 0.39"H | | Item Type Name | Flamenco Full Top Scratch Plate Pickguard w/ String Change Foil - Permanent - Transparent | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Ortega Guitars | | Manufacturer Part Number | OPG-FLAM1 | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | OPG-FLAM1 | | Model Number | OPG-FLAM1 | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 25.5 inches | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 840553027785 | | Warranty Description | N/a. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Wood - **Body Material:** Spruce - **Brand:** Ortega Guitars - **Color:** Clear - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** S - **Hand Orientation:** Ambidextrous - **Neck Material Type:** Maple - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Top Material Type:** Spruce Wood ## Images ![Flamenco Full Top Scratch Plate Pickguard w/String Change Foil - Permanent - Transparent - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617+cix2SDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flamenco style guitar shield. *by A***R on August 13, 2025* Great protection for guitar finish. ### ⭐ Bubblelicious *by M***O on February 20, 2025* I had high hopes for these Ortega Flamenco Scratch Plates to complete my brand-new Admira F4EF flamenco guitar, which unfortunately didn’t come with a scratch plate.
