Welcome Edward! I too, have a wonderful 4001V63, a '98. Here is a pic of it with a new pickguard and finger rest from Pickguardian. You will also note the bent up horseshoes.

Tony makes great pickguards and other accessories.

Bending the shoes is very easy to do with simple tools and some hardware from your local hardware store. I did detail the procedure in a post but I would have to search for it. Try doing a search for bending horseshoes. Here are some pics of the HS on my '73 4001 which was the first one I did.
