Fender Jazzmaster pickguard refit

So I acquired a Classic Player Jazzmaster and I really like the look of the '58/'59 Jazzsters with the anodized gold pickguards. I was wondering if I could fit a pickguard from the J Mascis Squier Jazzmaster onto the Classic Player JM since they both have adjust-o-matic bridges.

I don't see why not, all the fittings, switches, knobs, etc, all seem to fit, just why would ou want that gold pickguard, and where are you gonna get it? Is there nothing better on Ebay?

Here's a good resource on how to install a gold pickguard. Parts include the Allparts Golf Anodized Jazzmaster Pickguard. Everything else is just black knobs and covers, which I highly recommend since the white on the J Masic doesn't look that good. Is this a sunburst or black Jazzy?

there's a how-to on changing pickguards? seriously?

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

I think it's because the guy who made the guide also changed out some knobs and the pickup covers.

There's just something about the '58 and '59s that I like the look of. And I've seen some of the J Mascis pickguards going around online so I'd just get one of those.
