Has anybody ever tried modding the pickguard on an older Starfire so that it sits closer to the body? On all the Starfire's I have owned I have ended up removing the pickguard completely; due to the really shallow neck angle on Guilds I find the pickguard far too close to the strings when I am picking on the higher strings. I prefer however to have the pickguard on as it helps with my technique.
It seems like you could simply enlarge the cutout areas where it rests on the pickup rings, and adjust the L hinge accordingly.
