Fender Original 57/62 Pre-wired Stratocaster Pickguard
Upgrade with vintage Fender tone...instantly!
With premium pickups and expert wiring, it's never been easier to get the classic Fender sound.
Fender's pre-wired pickguards are the easiest (and fastest) way to upgrade your tone. Fender takes a set of their custom 57/62 pickups and wires them up with the same top quality switches, pots, and wiring used in their incredible factory guitars. The 11-hole pickguard is the exact one used in the factory—it fits dozens of Fender Strats.
Best of all—it's a drop-in upgrade! You'll save hours of work and have a completely rewired guitar in no time at all.
Handmade pickups with a vintage voice
The 57/62 pickups were modeled directly from the original pickups in a sweet sounding 1963 Strat. They'll give you that classic vintage Strat sound, with warm and clear lows and glassy bell-like highs. The hand-beveled and staggered Alnico V magnets have all of the feel and dynamics that make a 60s Strat so revered. They're made with nothing but the good stuff: formvar magnet wire, cloth wiring, and fiber bobbins.
The Fender Original 57/62 Pre-wired Stratocaster Pickguard features:
Completely pre-wired pickups, pots, and switch
Fender 57/62 single-coil pickup set: neck, middle, and bridge
High quality 250k pots, cap, and switch
