From The
OverDrive Custom Guitar Works Electronics Shop... Seymourized By A Seymour
Duncan Pickup Set...
Straight out of our custom shop is a complete
and fully loaded Strat® pickguard assembly
featuring our very own unique triple recessed
mini-toggle switch pickup selection
modification. This unique pickup selection
modification gives you 22 different selection
possibilities with three true Strat® tone Seymour
Duncan single coil pickups. Awesome
vintage and hot-rodded Strat® tone using the
expertise that Seymour Duncan brings to pickup
design and tone along with our implementation of
how modified pickup selections are presented...
Our complete pickguard
assembly includes
everything you will need, it is ready to drop into your favorite
Strat® by simply hooking up the hot wire (audio)
and a couple of ground wires. It is loaded with genuine Seymour
Duncan pickups, an SSL-5T (Tapped) bridge pickup, SSL-1
(Rw/Rp) middle pickup and a SSL-1 neck pickup. It is all assembled with
genuine Fender® accessories along with top
quality CTS potentiometers, Orange Drop
polyester film tone capacitors and a CRL pickup selector
switch. We do not stop short on the
quality of a single component.
Our custom triple recessed
mini-toggle switches perform the following
functions:
Switch 1: Toggles
between full output and lower output of the
tapped SSL-5T bridge pickup.
The tapped lower output of the SSL-5T is
similar to the output of a SSL-1 vintage pickup and
the full output selection provides the full, higher
output with more sustain and great harmonics
of the SSL-5.
Switch 2: Toggles
on or
off the neck pickup no matter what position the
5-way pickup selector switch is in. This
mod gives
you two more pickup selection options from the
standard 5 which is the same as
our Gilmour Black Strat® modification.
Switch 3: "Direct
Through Mod". With this switch activated
the output from the pickups is sent directly to
the output jack bypassing the volume
and tone potentiometers and eliminating any of
their signal
attenuation. This is similar to Fender's
"No Load" tone potentiometers, but with them
when they are set at 10 the pickup signal
simply "bypasses" or does not impart a load
through the the tone potentiometers, and to
not have the "No Load" potentiometers
bypassing you must crack down the setting
down just below 10 a very small amount and
then it will operate as a normal tone
potentiometer. A "No Load" tone
potentiometer set at 10 is in "bypass" mode.
So this option is similar but yet different
in how it is applied. The "Direct Through
Mod" option allows the full flavor,
output and character of the pickup to be sent
directly to
your amp.
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. With this
particular customized pickguard assembly these
aluminum pickguard shields are
also fully customized to accommodate the three
recessed mini-toggle switches.
We offer a few assembly selection
options for your pickguard to appeal to your
particular Strat® body color.
