The Fender Pure Vintage Spirit: The Sound of the Original Stratocaster Era
Designed to evoke the founding era of the Stratocaster, this Fender pre-wired pickguard features Pure Vintage '59 pickups wound to precise specifications. Vintage coil construction, cloth-covered wires, and quality components combine to deliver a traditional Fender tone that is dynamic and musical.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Ideal for guitarists who want to upgrade a modern 11-hole format Stratocaster without undertaking a full rewiring. Perfect for restoration, improving a production guitar, or quickly achieving a coherent vintage SSS configuration, whether in the studio, rehearsal, or on stage.
Pre-wiring, RWRP, and Components: Simple Installation, Reliable Results
The pickguard arrives assembled with electronics and pickups already mounted, ensuring a clean and repeatable installation. The reverse-wound reverse-polarity (RWRP) middle pickup helps reduce background noise in the intermediate positions while preserving the character of single coils. Controls follow classic Strat ergonomics with a master volume and two tone knobs, allowing easy shaping of the high end and warmth according to your amp and pedals.
