Will a gold JMJM pickguard fit on a 65 AVRI?
I have a friend with an EGC-equipped JMJM pickguard that I want to put into my AVRI. Will the pickguard fit? I know there are differences between American-built vs the Asian-built guitars, but will I be able to make it work?

As far as I recall Squier actually uses the AVRI template (and so does Fender Japan since maybe 2-5 years at least on Jags) - I had more trouble with the Vintera series (but I mainly work with Jags).
I think Rexter also used a JMJM guard on my Jazzmaster for demonstrational purposes which now sports an AVRI guard.
Edit: Squier JMJM or Fender Japan JMJM? If the latter than you‘ll possibly run into problems. Squier should be fine.

Squier. Thanks for your notes, that's encouraging.MayTheFuzzBeWithYou wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 12:07 amAs far as I recall Squier actually uses the AVRI template (and so does Fender Japan since maybe 2-5 years at least on Jags) - I had more trouble with the Vintera series (but I mainly work with Jags).

You might have issues with bridge post hole spacing, TOM vs rocking. Not 100% sure on that but likely worth double checking.
