A golpeador denotes a from plastic -made molded article in Flamenco - guitars (i.e. modified classical guitar ), in particular at above or below the sound hole mounted is. The golpeador enables the guitarist to use the percussive playing technique Golpe without causing damage to the top of the guitar body. A self-adhesive golpeador can usually be cut to the desired shape. Some products can be peeled off and reused afterwards.
Other guitars such as western guitars , electric guitars and basses also use a pickguard , often also referred to with the English terms pickguard or scratchplate , but which differ from the shape and mostly also from the materials of a golpeador .
