Hey OP! Like the username.

I really like the look of it. I tried doing that on my Jazz, but I need to get a bigger pickup cover. When I take the guard off my jazz, the difference of the thickness of the guard not being there cause the cover to sit too close to the strings, if that makes any sense at all.

Yes... why not? I've seen a VM fretless with covers... looked lovely.

Put a small washer under each side.
