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® Gen 4 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.
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. It is also best that you have an HSS or
HSH routed control cavity body to accommodate
the extra number of wires on these pickups. Each
of these pickups has 3 wires, so in the bridge
pickup region all 3 pickups wires really begin
to bulk up and require control cavity space for
fitment.
We offer a few assembly selection
options for your pickguard to appeal to your
particular Strat® body color.

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.
