Custom Built Fully Loaded Complete Strat® Pickguard Assembly
Fender® Hot Noiseless Pickup Set

We custom build each of these complete Strat® pickguard assemblies in our shop by hand for every customer based on the unique specifications selected below.

Includes everything ready to drop in to your favorite Strat® by simply hooking up the hot wire (audio) and ground wires.  Includes genuine Fender® Hot Noiseless pickup set, genuine Fender® pickguard, knobs, switch tip along with top quality CTS potentiometers, Orange Drop polyester film tone capacitors and a CRL pickup selector switch.

As Fender provides the Hot Noiseless pickup sets they only come with Aged White pickup covers and standard pickup covers are not interchangeable, so you'll notice only the Aged White color option for the accessories.

The standard 11 hole pickguards are fully aluminum foil shielded as they come from Fender, click for illustration.

The '56/'59, '57, '62 and '65 vintage pickguards require a separate aluminum pickguard shield which is to be added extra if so desired. Use separate "Add to Cart" buttons found below for addition of these pickguard shields.

These pickups require a bodies pickup routing depth of 3/4", vintage 5/8" depth routings may present issues with the pickups bottoming out in the routings and not allowing the pickups to be lowered to a level you may desire for your pickup to string height setup.

We offer a few assembly selection options for your pickguard to appeal to your particular Strat® body color.

Pickguard Assembly Specifications / Options

Jeff Beck wanted a bigger sound and better tonal dynamics than a standard single-coil pickup could deliver, and he got exactly what he was after in the new hotter Noiseless design. Warm and punchy neck pickup tone with a bluesy feel, and a bridge pickup that screams at high gain. The clean tone is clear and very full. These pickups deliver the best definition and sensitivity that has ever graced the Strat.

Important Note: If you are selecting your pickguard assembly to be built with one of the '56/'59, '57, '62 or '65 vintage pickguards they are unshielded as provided by Fender. To have the genuine Fender® full coverage aluminum pickguard shielding plate or '57 control area aluminum shielding plate installed please add it separately below using the appropriate "Add to Cart" button.  These separate aluminum shielding plates are specific and authentic to how Fender was shielding their pickguard assemblies during the '50s and early to mid 60's.  The '57 pickguard typically will have the control area aluminum shielding plate installed, the '62 and '65 pickguard typically will have the full coverage aluminum shielding plate installed.
