Does anyone know if a Gibson 335 pickguard will work on a 2001 AS80? Other than mounting mods, is the space between the pickups the same on both guitars.

Thanks everyone. Mike

It will ever work.
That goes for all pickguards.
They just hang there and get beaten up.
Some do it for more money than others
and prefer magenta sheets.

PS:
They are only useful if they add something other pieces of SM plastic don't have, such as a tortoise colour. If they don't, buy a cheapo like this E-3-4B PICKGUARD "335" /BLACK /4 PLY for € 11.50

Here's such a 47 year old SM callgirl:

I'd say to the pimps:"Put it in a place with no light."

Mike,

I found something, if you're into affordable tortoise. This colour is beautiful on natural and sunburst finishes. This one is a long-style (3-ply?) tortoise

Note: It looks like this is made of cheaper material than the original L-5, GB-10 or AS-200 pickguards. It looks a lot like the material used for strat pickguards.

If you have a transparent red (like the Epiphone DOT), a black pickguard makes a better combination. This one is short-style 5-ply black :

Ask them questions about the dimensions BEFORE you bid, because it's an e-bay store. But it's USA, so you'll have low shipping cost.
