Upgraded Prewired Pickguard Loaded Modern Tone Triple Single Coil Pickups for Electric Guitars with 11 Holes, 3-Ply Pick Guards Wired SSS Pick Ups Wiring Harness Kit, Cream

I bought this for my jamming guitar and the one I use to play around the house. For my professional guitar I use a much more expensive setup.As others said, a great value for the price. I replaced the full set of pots and pickups that was completely worn out on my 1972 strat with this set. I could have just dropped it right into place of the old pick guard and it would have fit perfectly, but I didn't like the drab looking yellow pick guard color. I bought this for the electrical parts and swapped them into my pearl pick guard instead, and tossed out the yellow one that came with it. Took me about 45 minutes to replace everything and solder it to the output jack. If I had just dropped it in place as purchased then it would have taken only about 15 minutes to wire it up to the jack.The pots are low profile and should fit into any guitar cavity and they turn smoothly with just enough resistance to not accidentally move when playing. The 5 position switch is a nice improvement over my original 3 position switch to allow various combinations of the pickups to be selected for slightly different tonal effects.Guitar sounds fine and has a little bit of a high tint sound with these pickups, however, I can get whatever sound I want anyway with the various effects pedals I have.There is zero hum coming out of this set, but then again, I don't used a hard wire system. I use a remote Line6 wireless setup. And yes, I was a professional musician. Know this stuff well. Recommend this set for an average quality strat.

The pros:It sounds awesome for the money.Installation was a breeze.Parts look and feel quality.Cons:Doesn’t fit old squire hole patternGonna need some setup, because the neck pick up is SUPER loud compared to other two.Overall this thing rocks for the money. It took a 50 dollar guitar and made it sound much better. Is it going to make you sound like John Mayer? No. But it’s worth every cent they charge.

After 40 years of the same internal workings, I thought I would try a replacement setup. Worked perfectly and a great sound that I remember from the past.

Very good value! Purchased to upgrade a cheap Squire I picked up at the pawn shop which had a bad tone pot and a very dirty pick guard The pots are small compared to the factory pots but I decided to try them before replacing with higher quality. They are actually pretty good and the volume kicks in at 2 just like my more expensive Fender Strat. The Alnico V pickups sound awesome and the 5 way switch has a nice solid click feel. I am very happy with the whole setup. Be aware that the holes in the pickguard may not line up if you have a Squire and I knew this when I purchased it. I just filled the holes that didn't line up with a match stick dipped in a little wood glue and then carefully drilled new holes where needed. Very easy and its a solid fit.

I ordered this for a junk-caster build and thought I would report. The price is great, the wiring, presentation, packaging, etc... dinky pots but otherwise, great! I did change the pickguard and knobs, just personal preference. As for the sound, I would NOT recommend if you are looking for a spanky, telecaster, clean sound, but that doesn't mean they are bad and I already have another strat for that. I had to play around with these pickups a little bit to get what I was looking for, same as any guitar. They were a little muddy sounding as alnico 5's tend to be, I found that burying the bass side of the neck and middle pickups, helped greatly. As for the bridge, I really like the bass side raised, sounded really nice with some moderate/heavy gain, I was quite surprised as I am not a huge bridge pickup/gain fan. I hooked these up to my Katana and ran them through four different amp settings: clean/reverb, mid scooped clean with reverb/chorus 40%, bassy clean with 10% OD boost and then a somewhat "heavy" gian with the mids scooped.. I am more than satisfied with how these pickups sound on every setting, then again I like my strats to sound a little filthy. If you're hoping to get chimey, articulate, bell-like tones out of these (or any alnico V mangets I've ever had) keep shopping... if your looking for something that can handle gain and OD with no problems, maybe some dirty Hendrix tones, these are a great value!! ...IMO

You'll probably have to make some mods like the screw holes not lining up which is easy and where the neck meets up which was expected but for the price and ease of installation, definitely worth it if you're trying to revive and old guitar. You'll only have to solder your input jack's two wires and a ground. The wiring on the underside is nice and neat. Sound quality is good enough for a basic guitar player.

Awesome!!!

For $40 I was not expecting a lot. Fender’s cheapest Tex mex pickups cost over 3x as much. A full strat rewire seemed beyond my technical expertise so I went with one of these pre-loaded pickguards to replace stock ceramic pickups and JACKPOT.Bell-like highs and throaty lows with strat-like funky quack in the split positions. Throw on some spring reverb and you’re in dick dale wonderland. A tube screamer for SRV vibes. So many great tones and personality across all 5 positions.The only major issue was that the guitar body pickup chambers were too small on the Donner strat knockoff and I had to get my dremel out to bore out some extra space for the new bobbins and wiring. Also, as other reviews mentioned, old holes did not match up but who cares.Bottom line- if you’re willing to put in a little extra work to get these to fit, you’ll be very happy you did. These sound on par with any fender I’ve heard and I was able to scratch that strat itch for a fraction of the cost. The cream on black is a great look too compared to the generic stock white. Would definitely recommend and buy again. 🤘🏾
