That would be awesome. When I say Music Master I mean the 60's Mustang style guard, not the original one. So I think just a vintage correct Mustang guard with a single neck pickup cut out would be just dandy.
I've been looking for more sources for single pickup MM guards (1968 style). That would be killer.

I have a couple of mustang traces but nothing verified. If anyone is keen to have a look, pm me!

Wow! These look fantastic!

Do you do any custom colors?

Thinking of a midnight or navy blue for my J Mascis Jazzy.

You could get some very cheap/easy faux blue ano with one of the raw aluminum guards and some blue dyechem

Blue Dykem! That's such a good idea! They make it in red, too... it'd need a clear coat over top, prolly, but that's good thinking!
This is an excellent rectangle

Clear anodizing?!? So, it just looks like bare metal?

Does it still have the small/subtle ridges/texture like most anodizing does?

Have any pictures of one of the clear anodized guards? I'm thinking that a vintage-yellowed Firemist silver with clear anodized guard would look KILLER.
