But the problem is that as the wood that was underneath the pickguard darkens, the wood that was never covered up continues to darken at the same pace. Maybe if it's just a faint tanline to begin with you can hope for it to go away and blend in. But when the contrast is as pronounced as in this photo, that's NEVER going to blur and blend in and become unnoticeable. Kind of looks like a bad case of "reverse mumps," doesn't it?

Do guitars that have a sunburst finish have the same issues?

They'll even up over time. The more light you give the guitar, the faster the tan lines will disappear.

Yes. Absolutely. Sunbursts also gradually change color with exposure to light, and if you take off a pickguard that's been on a sunburst finish guitar for some years, you will see a very visible tanline. Then sbeirnes wrote: Quote:
