Good dog.  Just rounding the corners would likely do it.  Love these two.  Short scale.  Would be fun  to try em.

Super cool! I love them both.

Thanks Unc, Pick, and Dave! You're right Unc, the tail stands out a bit more than I'd like, but it actually is aged (doesn't show up in photo). I considered using the back side of the hinges, as they are rusted, but sanded that side to make better contact for grounding the pup. I did however end up rounding the corners of the hinges to soften the look a little

yup

Yes, it is.  Old is cool.  Great pair of relics with shiny pickups that fit right in and don't clash.  Love em, especially the bottom one.   the only thing I would change would be to 'age' the tail piece and screws there.
