The Pure Vintage '65 Tone: The Strat in Its Most Iconic Era
Designed to capture the response and dynamics of mid-60s Stratocasters, this pre-wired pickguard features three Fender Pure Vintage '65 pickups wound to traditional specifications. With precise attack, clear highs, and an "elastic" feel under the fingers, you get an instantly recognizable character, ideal for both pick playing and more subtle arpeggio parts.
For the Musician Who Wants to Upgrade Their Strat Without the Hassle
This pre-wired pickguard is aimed at guitarists looking to improve their electronics with a clean and reliable setup: rock, surf, pop, funk, blues... The cloth-covered wiring and quality components facilitate a serious upgrade, whether to recapture vintage tone on stage or in the studio, or to add punch to an 11-hole compatible Strat.
Wiring Designed for Comfort: Quieter Positions 2 and 4
The reverse-wound reverse-polarity (RWRP) middle pickup helps reduce hum in the intermediate positions while preserving the Strat's signature sound. The SSS configuration, Alnico 5 magnetization, and staggered pole pieces ensure a natural balance across strings, with a vintage output that respects your playing dynamics and your amp's personality.
