Looking for an anodized gold guard for a AVRI but there are a million brands. What do you all recommend?

I just got my tone-guard gold ano pg Monday, I think, that I ordered 8/31 and was told 3 weeks originally.
It is exactly what I ordered, kinda custom, but not exactly delivered in a timely fashion.

Fourth-ed! My Squier JM has a Herad guard and it's amazing.

Hmmm oddly they don’t list a standard JM guard in gold on Reverb.

You should message him! He responds pretty quickly. A while back, I asked him if he made a MIJ gold guard even though I did not see it as an option. He did and I bought one. Great service and great guard.

The issue there is it’s a guard for an early 59, I would need to drill new screw holes in the body in order to use that guard.

This. I've ordered standard JM pickguards from him and they fit standard American JMs perfectly.

Hi!
I'm looking for a gold anodized aluminium pickguard for my American Original '60s Jazzmaster (Ice Blue Metallic).
I've seen many of you recommend Herad's; they looks nice, but considering I live in Italy, it would be a bit expensive, also considering customs duties and taxes.
Have you had experience with this?

What are the differences between this and Herad's? It would be cheaper for me, but I don't want to give up on quality...
Thanks!
