Re: Thoughts on abbreviated pickguards
I had one installed by Steve Smith/Red Line/Cumberland Acoustics, along with refret, new bridge and other stuff (highly recommend his work by the way). The pickguard mount is just 2 pins into the neck and it's solid for me but if you're really pressing down, I've seen some with a wood pillar at the bridge end (from Northfield, maybe?), w/leather or felt on the bottom, to support that end from underneath. Shd never need the old school angle bracket drilled/screwed into the side.
