I think the point on the horn is a little too acute and needs rounding off a little to follow the contour of the horn and to complement the rounding off on the other ends.
I think you're right. I did consider shortening it a little at one point, but didn't consider rounding it off.

Second one has less of a Tele hint, liked the first one better. Could even do with more Tele, after all the contour and the neck pocket are Strat already.
It is far more Strat than Tele anyway. Basically only the bridge/bridge pickup and the middle switch position (Neck +Bridge pickups) are Tele. I do prefer the sleeker Strat aesthetic to the more industrial Tele, but the pickguard still draws more attention to the bridge than none at all. My original pickguard idea was to have the top part of the guard curve upwards like a Tele, but as I was cutting down an existing Strat guard, that wasn't an option and the Strat curve shows more wood.
