No effect on tone. But if the guitar is a vintage collector's item, it's no longer stock which could reduce it's value, but only slightly because it's just a pickguard and doesn't effect the tone of the guitar.

the pickguard will look different that's all. Keept the old one so that you return it to original if you want to.

Well, if you shielded it on the back, the affect you might notice could be less noise in some cases. :? Other than that, as stated above, cosmetic appeal only.

Hi, If you are thinking of changing your pickguard.
First, keep your original and then you might find these interesting.
