Yeah, it's definitely a different look. Some people love pickguards. Some hate them. I have guitars with and without.
Is that an Axis Hardtail? When did they make those? Must have been before they started using the Super Sport name.

Yes, it's a hard tail. These were early on, and the following was posted by one of the mods in 2008:
We offered the Red, Purple, and Gold in a non trem version starting 1/96
January 97 we offered another option in a non trem Sunburst! (Honey Burst now)
April 97 price list shows all 4 colors and a new rosewood option on all Axis Models.
For most of 97-98 this stayed the same until Jan 99 the non trem Axis was only available with a maple neck and Trans gold only! By 2000 the Supersport arrived and the Non trem Axis was history!
Well like TBone said, they look different, I like them without myself. To cover up the Fuchsia would be a crime, hahahahahaha.

I think they look cool with a pickguard.... but only the solid coloured ones and natural headstock.
That's just me.

Uh NO! Sorry beautiful guitars pickguard is well fugly. Leave them be especially the axis hardtail and the tobacco axis
Personally, I like them. But they change the personality- they make them more telecaster-ish.
It's cool, just different.

I much prefer covered hum buckers. Zebra coils don't do it for me -I like the clean aesthetic of a covered humbucker. That black quilt with guard and chrome covers looks great

Are you using double-stick tape on the guards with no screws?
