“The BackGuard is the best I’ve seen.”
“Thanks Jeff, Love your product. this is the second one I have purchased”
“Thank you very much, Great invention!!”
“Product as stated. Good Communication. Fast Shipping. Great Ebayer! A+++”
“Just as described. Arrives fast. Easy to install. Must buy for EVERY GUITAR.”
“Love the texture and thickness .. I will be ordering again for my other Basses in the near future ...”
“I had did a few gig’s with the BackGuard attachment on my Bass, must say it was a relief to know the back of the instrument was highly guarded against the Zippers, Buttons, flinging strap lock pins, Guitar Stands with rubber guards missing, the occasional bump on the Drums or Piano and of course Belt buckle… I would use this on electric Keyboards too! To anyone who is looking for protection for their instrument this is the one.”
“Really like it a lot. Got it for a PRS I bought.”
“Seller went out of the way to make sale perfect. Great seller. Would buy from again.”
“Hi Jeff, sorry for so long in replying - only recently got to do it. Very pleased with it and does exactly what you say. I hope you get more success with it, I guess you're up against those who think it's not very "rock n roll"! But excellent product for protecting back of guitar.

"Highly Recommended!!! A+++++++"
"Thank you A+."
"Haven’t had a chance to use it in a gig yet, but this will, without a doubt, do exactly as it’s designed. Other scratch protectors out there both a) don’t cover the entire back of the guitar and b) are too thin to protect against dings. The material on the BackGuard is thick, but not heavy or cumbersome. Being able to cut it to the size and shape of the guitar is also completely ideal. Shipping was fast and communication was great. Would highly recommend."
"Thanks for reaching out!!! While I still haven’t had a chance to gig it yet, I can already tell it’ll work great. I’ve cut it to size and tested it at home. It adheres well and stays put very well. I plan on sharing it on the PRS Guitar forum (if you don’t mind, of course). I’m fairly active on that particular forum and the topic of maintaining and protecting our guitars comes up fairly often, so it’ll be nice to have a solid recommendation for the fellow forum members. My first gig with it will be at the beginning of January, so I’ll be able to share my experiences with it in a live setting then. Thanks again for reaching out!!! I’m very happy with your product!"
"Hi I received the the BackGuard and I love it, great job and I'm using the excess for other guitars after cutting. thanks so much"
"The real deal! Good people to do business with."
"Prompt response, great communications, fast shipping"
"Great seller. Nice item."
"Glad I have something to protect my PRS now. I'll definitely recommend it to all my friends."
"Thanks Jeff. You have a far superior product and I will recommend it to anyone that needs!"
"Super-fast shipping! Great communication! Item exactly as described! 5 Stars!!"
"Hi Jeff: This is the 5th one I bought, the first was at the guitar show at the Freeport Long Island Guitar Show a few years back, the others from eBay. They work very well. The backs of my guitars are like the day I bought them, Pristine. You have a great product."
"Great seller"
"Thanks, just as described & fast delivery."
"A+++++"
"This is an amazing, protective pad! It definitely does not obtrusively stick to the surface of the guitar, you can tell immediately that it won’t leave any residue since it doesn’t use any adhesive or sticky substance to stay on. And what protection it offers! It’s like putting a protective Kevlar pillow on it that will shield from belt buckles and buttons, but also from an accidental kick, or mic stand falling and hitting it, etc. This is a genius product!"
"A+A+A+A+A+...Item received... Great communications..thank you!! Will but again...."
"Thanks for the quick shipment and what looks to be a quality product. Marking and cutting was simple and quick and adheres well to my Epiphone."
"Fast shipping, great communication, great product!"
"Item as described and great transaction. THANKS AAAAA++++++"
"I couldn’t be happier with the BackGuard! I’ve used it during several live performances and haven’t had a single problem. It stays attached the entire gig with no issues whatsoever and, most importantly, has protected my guitars finish completely. The size was perfect and cutting it was simple. I’ve recommended them to a couple other players in my band, so hopefully they’ll pick one up too. Eventually, I think I want to pick up another one for my acoustic guitar. Thanks for reaching out and providing such a fine product"
"Arrived quickly. Great communication. Works well. Thanks."

“Great!”
“Everything fine”
“So easy to mark then cut out. The BackGuard feels good and is better than other brands.”
“Good product.”
“Hi Jeff! I got it around 5pm today when I got back home. I installed it in about 20 minutes or so. It was quite easy. After re-watching your video, I was meticulous about cutting it as precise as I could. I used scissors after carefully marking it. It's the real deal. I really like it. I'm using it on a new Bootlegger Spade guitar (polyurethane finish) which is headless and has a pretty small body, so a lot of it was left over. The back story is I'm the original owner of a 1980 Fender Strat which I've customized some. Several years ago I bought a "Scratch Pad" from Guitar Center and put it on the Strat. Maybe you're familiar with these. I was going to put one of those on this guitar but I couldn't find them anywhere. Then I discovered your product and went with that. Meanwhile I did find Scratch Pad from some website in the Netherlands. But I'm glad I went with your solution because it's not as thin and the scratch pad wouldn't cover it all anyway!”
“The BackGuard worked out perfectly. Great protection and easy to install. Plenty of cling so it won't fall off and yet can be removed if desired. Seller was very responsive and shipped very quickly.”
“This is my second BackGuard! Definitely recommend! Such an awesome product, will be back again!”
“Excellent seller! Will buy from again!“
“Got it, Jeff! this is my second one for another guitar. I love the BackGuards! They are fantastic for their intended purpose. Personally I use them as an Elvis impersonator to keep those concert belts from destroying the backs of my guitars and it works like a charm. Thanks for a smart innovative product.”
“I use these often and normally buy the ones that have a printed image on them. These work well and are reusable. Arrived in excellent condition (These were shipped overseas). Very pleased with this purchase.“
“Thanks for the product, I put it on last night, it’s great! I appreciate the communication and effort you made to make sure it got here. Thanks again!”
“Awesome product & great communication! Had to buy another one for my other guitar! Definitely recommend this product.”
“The pad is quite sturdy and should last for decades. It attaches easily to the back of my guitar. Thank you.”
“Very positive seller that’s always being on top of his business!”
“Excellent seller fast delivery, exactly what I needed., thank you 😄…”
“This is my second BackGuard. It’s an awesome product comes highly recommended If you want to protect the back of your non-nitrocellulose finished guitar. Easy to shape, stays In place and yet it’s not permanent you can remove it and put it back on like a piece cling wrap. It’s amazing love it.”
“Great seller! Don’t hesitate to buy. Excellent!!!!”

I couldn’t be happier with the BackGuard’s materials and the Neck Tie fret guard is a fantastic and very elegant solution to a simple problem. My hats off to you sir. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future and I will let all my guitar player friends know what wonderful products you have created. Thanks again for your time. Andre”
