I know it's bigger, but would it be ugly enough to order a custom guard?
No,I think a regular HB looks fine with an adapter ring.

LOL for a second I thought you were going to ask "does anyone know how wide a widerange pickup's range is compared to a regular range humbucker?"

I am amazed and ashamed to say my Squier version has become my favourite guitar. I thought I was a Jag man forever, but not at the moment, it seems.
