Hi Jim, Welcome to CBN. The pickguard is one I bought off ebay uk
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Acoustic-Guitar-Pickguard-Hummingbird-Mini-Scratchplate_W0QQitemZ230423395889QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item35a64dfe31 It is a thin plastic which is easy to cut to shape with scissors and has a sticky back which holds it quite firmly in place. I also used one on my children's guitars (one was enough for them both)
