A Ready-to-Play Fender Set Designed for the Strat
This loaded Fender pickguard is a complete solution to give your Stratocaster a true second voice without getting lost in complex wiring. Designed with premium components in the same factory as iconic Fender guitars, it offers simple installation and a tone with the immediately recognizable Fender character.
For the Guitarist Who Wants to Move from Vintage to Modern Without Changing Guitars
Ideal if you play multiple styles (rock, pop, funk, blues, heavy crunch) and want to switch from a sharp single-coil tone to a denser humbucker power. Between split-coil and humbucker modes, you adapt your Strat for punchy rhythms as well as solos that require more body and output level.
Quadra Tap, S-1, and 5 Positions: Electronics Designed for Versatility
Equipped with passive Quadra Tap humbuckers powered by an Alnico 2 bar magnet, this set offers a wide tonal modulation. The S-1 switch on the volume knob allows you to select different voices, while the 5-way selector distributes each pickup between humbucker and single-coil (split-coil) modes. The result: textures ranging from vintage-inspired warmth to hotter output, while retaining defined highs even when you roll down the volume.

Questions frequently asked
Is this Fender pickguard compatible with all Stratocasters?
This set is designed for Stratocaster and uses an 11-hole pickguard. Compatibility with a specific model therefore depends on whether its mounting matches this format.
How to install the pre-wired Quadra Tap HH pickguard?
Installation involves removing the existing pickguard, connecting two wires, then mounting the new set. The electronics, 5-way selector, and S-1 switch are already built into the pickguard.
What tones do the Quadra Tap 1 and 2 pickups offer?
The two passive Alnico II magnet humbuckers provide 10 distinct voicings. The humbucker modes deliver more fullness, while the coil-split gives a brighter single-coil type response.
What is the function of the S-1 switch on this Strat HH pickguard?
The S-1 switch, integrated into the volume knob, selects different voices of the Quadra Tap pickups. Combined with the 5-way selector, it cycles through humbucker and split-coil configurations.
Are treble frequencies preserved when the volume is lowered?
A treble bleed circuit maintains high frequencies regardless of the volume setting.
