Late to the party, but for my '67 RI , I replaced the whole pickguard with a black one, including black Gotoh hardware (locking bridge).

Initially there was a Super D in the bridge, but now I've settled on the Norton, and a Breed neck.
Awesome combo, and they're both wired for coil splits via push-pull volume pots (Bourns 500k).
The Norton will probably do what you'd like to see in a cross between the JB and Duncan Distortion, but just a tad more open/less compressed, with great medium/high-ish output and harmonics/kerrang.
The Breed neck will do a big, wide PAF tone, but less dark than the Alnico Pro II. It has a pinch more 'jangle' up top, but it matches the mahogany and ebony of the V tremendously well.
