Just curious, would a pick guard have any effect on the sound of an acoustic guitar?

Depends on the pick guard and the adhesives used to attach it.

One that is loose or has a loose flapping corner would certainly affect the sound.

but Adding one I would think the guitar manufactures have tested various adhesives and found the most suitable one.

I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a guitar that had one... but wouldn't add one myself for any reason.

Thanks Dewy!

I was at a guitar store the other day and seen one of those guitars with the double pick guards and it got me thinking about it. Not that I want one, in fact I don't even care for them. Anyway, appreciate the info!
