Musiclily 11 Hole SSH Prewired Humbuckers Loaded Pickguard Set for Strat Style Guitar,3Ply Black

Good

I bought this loaded pickguard because my HSS Strat's humbucker worked intermittently and I couldn't diagnose the problem. I figured it was cheaper and easier just to replace all of the pickups with this kit. The installation was very easy and the only issue I had was the screw holes not completely lining up. I found out it's because my guitar is made in Japan and it's different from Mexican/American Strats. I still made it work however.The new pickups sound better to my ears. I find myself using all 5 of the switch positions, when I only used 3 at most on the originals. The humbucker can't be split or adjusted with the tone knob, but I didn't use that much on the old pickup to begin with. Overall, a great value.

This was easy to install. Some of the screw holes did not line up and I had to drill some new holes in the body to match up. It looks good, sounds great and has a pretty high output.

Im just a hobbyist player at home, played for 17 years, installed this on my early 2000s Squire Stratocaster, which had metallic, extremely bright sounding SSS style pickups. The humbucker adds a good amount of grit to the bridge pickup, and the 2 single coils are surprisingly warm for around $30. I'm glad I tried these out, instead of dripping hundreds on name brand pickups, because these are great. The pots are smaller than the ones I'm able to dial in the tone really well with them. Installation was extremely easy if you know how to use a soldering iron. Overall extremely impressed with the quality for the price.

This fit my guitar almost perfectly. The sound is an upgrade compared to the original one that was in my Sammick. It was very easy to install and has exceeded my expectations. It looks great, too!

My son bought a cheap Fender Starcaster off of Facebook Marketplace, but the electronics were shot. I was going to write it off as one of those life lessons when I discovered that fully-wired pickguards were a thing.I bought this one because it was relatively cheap and I didn't expect much. But everything was fine. I was able to figure out the wiring from the diagram in the description easily enough (there are no more instructions). The holes didn't quite line up, but I drilled new holes, which worked perfectly.I don't have enough experience with electric guitars to comment on the tone quality but there wasn't any static or buzzing, which is a lot better than what we had before.I guess this was one of those life lessons: the good kind.
