Pickguard? - Or NO Pickguard?

Yes, but that's almost incidental. It has one coil per two pole-pieces, the idea being that you get that 57-style split-pickup vibe, but in a 51-style package.

You could wire it parallel and it would give you a 51 style vibe without the annoying hum too ;)

That is a unique dual-coil 11k ohm custom job, one of three made by Martin Herrick to my specs.

Martin built the(invisible) 4x single coil pups for my Psilos....they work a treat...you should be happy.

As for the pick guard...I think it looks better without.

I tried that with a Jess Loureiro split-coil, I had a series/parallel switch fitted. But I preferred the 57-type sound and wanted to keep it simple. I hate having too many tone options. :D

You must struggle with anything that has an infinite-possible-settings tone pot

Quite. I may wire this pickup directly to the jack plug socket. The tone and volume controls are very distracting...
