Dinkycaster Inferno'Tron

Experimenting with ideas for the pickguard. I've also been looking at wiring options and having the ability to put the switch up top and have a knob below is compelling. It'd also let me put the switch in the lower horn if that ends up being the best configuration.

I like them both, slight preference towards the first. The Jaguar/jazzmaster thing doesn’t flow as well with the shape of the top horn IMHO, so slight edge to the ‘51 P thing

I think you're right. The shapes are fighting against each other.
 
I’m gonna be the 10 dentist and say I prefer the second pickguard. Looks more guitar-ish, and with the flake finish would be reminiscent of Belinda Butcher’s Mustang. Top one looks more bass-ish like a 50s P-Bass or a Tele Bass (would still look cool though).

I would combine them to something like this:

Did this on my phone, sry 😅

I prefer the lower horn portion and "roundness" of your second design, but I agree with the others on the Jazzmaster shape.
