This high-quality pickguard, crafted with precision in the same renowned factory that produces our iconic guitars, offers a seamless installation process. To install, simply remove your existing guard, solder the output jack and ground wires, and secure the new guard in place. You'll be ready to unleash the pure, unadulterated Fender sound in no time.

What sets this pickguard apart is its inclusion of the Pure Vintage '65 Strat pickups. These pickups are meticulously constructed to replicate the robust, clean, and crystal-clear surf rock tones that mid-'60s Stratocaster guitars are celebrated for.
