Musiclily Basic 11 Hole HSS Loaded Guitar Strat Pickguard Prewired Pickguard with Alnico 5 Pickup Humbucker for Fender American/Mexican Stratocaster Standard Modern Style Electric Guitar, 3Ply Black

This is the first "budget knockoff" pickguard that fits! ALL ELEVEN SCREWS matched the standard Fender/Squier hole positions - I didn't have to move ANY factory holes. They all matched - I have it on a standard MIC Squier SE Strat.I did have to shape the neck heel area, as it hung over too far to put the neck on. This was no big deal, and took a minute with a Dremel.Pots are small import size, but work very smoothly, and are silent. Bottom tone is on the middle pickup like stock Strat wiring, and I will move it to the bridge. Switch is the PCB import style, but is quiet and works well so far.Pickups are decent, with the high point being the bridge humbucker, which is nice and fat. The single coils do the Strat thing and are good, but are nothing super special and won't be confused for brand name aftermarket or USA Fender pickups...but for the price? Great!

I got this to install on a cheap old strat-style guitar that I’ve had for years. I was very impressed with the quality and care of the wiring and soldering on the pickups. I just soldered this in to the existing input on my guitar and it was ready to go.The single coils give you the classic “strat” tone, and the humbucker is way hotter than I expected. It has similar output to a duncan distortion. I am consistently surprised with how versatile this is. Play shine on you crazy diamond on the neck pu then switch to the bridge to play war pigs. For the price you can’t beat it.Overall this is a great option to rejuvenate an old guitar.

Have a Mexican Strat and was looking to swap pickup. This fit perfectly with no trimming needed for mine. Just need to solder up the jack plug and additional ground. Works good and sounds better than expected for the price. Didn’t even take off strings to do it. Loosened them, was able to slide out old pick guard. I did copper wrap the inside cavities, then put in the new guard. Works great, looks great, sounds great all for under $50.

I swapped out a stock set of SSS from my Squier Affinity. Im not a practicing musician but I know the tone I like to hear when practicing. These set of pickups are way better than the stock one my guitar came with, they have a much fuller sound. I can't compare them with professional pickups but they are really great for the price point and an upgrade. They are super easy to install.

I purchased this to Mod my recently purchased Squier Debut Stratocaster. The fit was a bit snug and one of the screw holes did not line up exactly but aside from that it was an easy install and the sound/tone, etc. is far better than the what came stock on the Strat.Overall a good inexpensive upgrade.

The humbucker randomly goes into single-coil mode, and I know its not the two wire ends, those are solidly tied and soldered. I think something about the winding itself is not correct, or perhaps where the wires meet the coils. The neck and middle pickups are working fine and sound good, so its really a shame about the humbucker being bad. I tried to contact support and they never responded. I'd return it but its not worth the effort of ripping it all out of my guitar. Thankfully I had an extra humbucker lying around to swap in

If your holes don't line up, line up what will, make sure that you don't have any half holes that need filled first, then use a spring loaded center punch to mark the location, right through the hole in the pick guard. then drilled a pilot, and final hole with it installed, the punch keeps the first hole dead center. So don't worry if a few holes don't line up, really not an issue, it's easy.Get decent tools. Don't follow the YouTube guitar tradition of "whatever is around" for tools. If you are doing a project, it's worth doing right. The, I worked with what I have excuse for sloppy work is cringe, just don't.

This is my second one. The first one I returned because It did not fit my then Indio strat. I got the second one for my Squier Affinity 2021 and it fit like a glove. I also like the look and sound it produces. You cannot go wrong with this pickguard. The only issue I had was the first tone control was not changing the tone on the bridge pickup so I added a small jumper between pin 2 and 3 on the 5 way switch and it did the trick. Very happy with it.
