They would look a lot better without one, however a smaller one would also be much, much better...... I love explorers but the pickguard covering the entire bottom neck side wing is ugly imo.....
Hate the blood splatter, love the Floyd. Life is hard.
Though the slightly tweaked explorer game got crazy seeing as how the Snakebyte has that contoured upper wing. In the age of bevels, that one has me curious.
