I like the normal tele guard. Reminds me of my humbucker tele but I do have a neck pickup. The SG jr style works well too.

I like the top right one, but I like how the middle right is shaped around the controls...

BigB's looks the best so far! Very nice indeed.

It does look really good, but I'm not quite sure about it on a one-pickup guitar - it would look even better with a neck minibucker.  Or a Tele neck pickup.  Something with a chrome cover.

BigB's split in three, kinda like a Burns Marvin.

Interesting!

I was the first person that voted "top left" but kept me mouth shut because I thought it was probably a bit conservative and I'd be in the minority...  apparently not :lol:

With how the thread's progressed though - no guard doesn't look too bad at all for my money... and I don't usually go for that.

But I'm posting now to add my voice in approval of BigB's :D

Just wondering if an LP type guard could be made to work?
