Ok, I know this is a high geek-factor topic, but with a simple pair of pliers I have made my AVRI bridge covers look like vintage ones (with the narrow flat edges).
I think it looks much better.

Great job! It looks good.
I've wondered about trying that but never did.

An old nylon guitar strap between the pliers and the cover! Not a scratch!

Is that an AVRI pickguard? It looks too good.

Yes it is the '65 guard... A reissue tortoise cannot look that good!
