Strat pickguard wired with Fender Noiseless and premium components
Up for sale is a premium, custom-assembled, fully loaded Stratocaster pickguard. This setup delivers classic 1950s "Blackie" style aesthetics paired with high-end modern, hum-free performance.
The entire assembly has been fully bench-tested today via a digital multimeter (reading a healthy 9.3k Ω individually / 4.7k Ω combined) and passes the signal screwdriver tap test perfectly. It is 100% functional and ready to install.
Premium Component Breakdown:
Pickups: Genuine Fender Vintage Noiseless Mk1 single-coil pickup set (excellent punch without the 60-cycle single-coil hum).
Pots: Vintage 2002 authentic CTS smooth-taper audio pots (Date code 1370212).
Capacitor: High-end Sprague Orange Drop tone capacitor for superior tonal consistency.
Switch: Heavy-duty, USA-made 5-way pickup selector switch.
Pickguard: Classic vintage-correct 1-ply, 8-hole black pickguard (perfect upgrade for any Squier, Mexican, or American Stratocaster).
Modern Tone Control Layout:
This harness is wired with the highly desirable Modern Bridge Tone Control Mod. Tone 1 controls the Neck pickup, while Tone 2 is dedicated directly to the Bridge pickup (leaving the Middle pickup wide open). This allows you to roll off the high-end on the bridge pickup, making it exceptionally warm, smooth, and incredibly usable compared to harsh vintage wiring layouts.
Installation Info:
This has been wired into a highly reliable passive harness. This means you do NOT need an active 9V battery or a routed cavity in your guitar body—it runs entirely on standard passive electronics.
Pre-soldered with long, high-quality 7-inch output jack leads that are clearly labeled. Installation requires only three simple solder connections to your guitar: Jack Hot, Jack Ground, and your existing Bridge/Tremolo Ground wire.
Any inspection welcome.
