Il Entertainer Magazine reviews Scratch Pad

December 1, 2004

Schaumburg-based Scratch Pad USA has actually come up with 
a better way to protect the backside of a guitar from its 
typical hazards; belt buckles, zippers, snaps, and 
punk-rock guitar solos. Scratch Pad, for $26.95, is a 
U.S.-made, velvet-like high quality finish protector that 
adheres to your guitar (electric, acoustic, or bass) 
without the use of adhesives or vinyl films.  
 
Currently available in four colors (Velvet Black, Tyrol 
Red, Royal Blue, Chestnut), the dimensions of Scratch Pad 
have been designed to fit most guitar bodies including Les 
Pauls, Strats, and acoustics. Indeed, the Scratch Pad fit 
nicely on our 1985 Telecaster. Looks like these guys from 
the northwest suburbs have come up with a winner. Visit 
www.scratchpadusa.com to learn more. Scratch Pad is 
available at JC's Guitars in Algonquin (847-658-9932) and 
also at Flynn Music in Evanston (847-491-0500).
