Musiclily SSS Loaded Pickguard Strat Prewired Pickguard with Single Coil Pickups Set for Strat Style Electric Guitar, 4Ply Pearl White

It's a nice pickguard, and the pickups are pretty good. They were a massive improvement over my previous pickups, a set of Dimarzio Area's. The Area's are stacked humbuckers voiced like a single coil... I like their lack of hum, but they were also lacking in crispness and clarity. In the end, I decided that tone was more important to me than fighting hum, and I'm very glad I switched to these. The hum isn't even that bad. And if I turn up the gain, I can switch to one of the hum canceling positions if need be. If you're interested in jumping into the world of single coils, or already love single coils but aren't too picky about them, I'd definitely recommend these. They are a great "normal" set of pickups, not noticeably bright or dark. My only criticism, if I had to list one, is that there isn't really much info about the pickups. It's not like buying a Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan, where you can see the specs of a dozen pickups, compare them, and pick one that suits your taste. Overall it's crazy how good the sound is for what you pay.

I have a sea foam green Squire Strat with a plain white pick guard...YUCK!!! so I wanted a pearl white pick guard instead... while looking for on I saw this and the reviews seemed good for the pickups and such so i got it as it wasn't much more $$$ than just the guard. I installed it but was not impressed with the pickups so i took out all the electronics and put my stock fender stuff in it, now it looks really nice and sounds good as well. A lt of folks say the pick ups in this are good, some even say better than the stock squier set, I like the fender set better, you may like these better. Im not knocking these at all, i just like the stock set more. the pick guard is really nice. Oh one more thing, it did have to be trimmed a very little bit around the bridge and neck to fit... and a couple of the holes were a touch off from the factory holes in the body of the guitar... i dont know if it was poor workmanship of the Pick-guard or the guitar... it is a Squire so its a Chinese made strat... but i believe this pick-guard is made in China too... Hmm you'd think that would cancel each other out and they'd fit perfect huh? lol... Anyhow it was easy to trim to fit and sort of force the screws to go in and line up and it looks great now!

I was pleasantly surprised! I bought this mainly for the pearl white pickguard. Since it was pre-wired, installation would be much easier, so that was a bonus. The big bonus was the pickups being hotter and much better sounding than the stock ones on my cheaply chinese strat copy. Upgraded string trees and a bone nut, too and now I have a pretty rockin' little guitar for not much $$!!

i like it.

Wow.. really WOW for the money. Looks and SOUNDS great! No hum at all. Used to replaced 2010 Squire components. Some minor fitment issues like slightly misaligned holes and loose wires. I had to route the wires a little to get it to lay flat. Probably a normal problem. I didn't have any major problems with the screw holes. Leave your screws loose till you get them all started. Also there is a metal grounding layer that may overlap holes you'll need to punch through. Reminder...if you use this on a Squire ... Drilling is required! I was able it punch holes in the body with an all and insert the screws by hand (cheap Squire body). Despite the fitment issues I really can't mark it down for a catch all product.

Nice item but didn't fit --had to redrill some holes --not recommended for beginners

I read several reviews before buying, and this fits the Squier Stratocaster Affinity perfectly and sounds AMAZING! I recommend lining the guard up with two screws at opposite ends. Do not tighten them! Work all screws in one at a time, and do not tighten any screws until all screws are aligned in each hole appropriately. Tighten all the screws. This guard will fit. Great product! Highly recommended!

Worked Ok, But the tone dials did absolutely nothing. The sound was pretty good and the pickup selector worked but really dissapointed about the tone dials!
