A Fender ready-to-play kit designed for simple and clean installation
This pre-wired Fender pickguard is a "plug and play" solution to give your Stratocaster a new voice in minutes. The concept is straightforward: you remove the original pickguard, connect two wires, reassemble everything, and your guitar immediately benefits from ready-to-use electronics assembled with quality components, continuing Fender's craftsmanship tradition.
An HSS set calibrated to cover vintage, modern, and high output tones
With its two 70th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless Strat single coils and passive Quadra Tap humbucker (Alnico 2 bar magnet), this set targets the player who wants to do it all with one Strat: precise clean tones, snappy crunch, thick rhythms, and beefier leads. The Ultra Noiseless pickups retain the vintage Strat DNA while eliminating hum, ideal for studio, stage, and demanding pedalboards.
Two S-1 switches and four voices to shape your sound without changing guitars
The Quadra Tap humbucker offers four distinct voices, ranging from vintage-inspired warmth to a hotter output, available in both humbucker and split modes. The S-1 switch integrated into the volume knob splits the humbucker to achieve a powerful single-coil sound. A second S-1 switch on tone knob 1 activates the "hot" voicing in both humbucking and split modes. Finally, the treble bleed circuit preserves high frequencies when lowering the volume, keeping your tone clear in the mix.

Questions frequently asked
Is this pre-wired pickguard compatible with an 11-hole Stratocaster?
The pickguard is designed for Stratocasters with an 11-hole drilling pattern. Therefore, the mounting compatibility depends on this pickguard format on the instrument concerned.
Which pickups are installed on the Fender Pre-Wired Strat Pickguard Quadra Tap/Ultra Noiseless HSS?
The HSS configuration pairs a passive Fender Quadra Tap humbucker at the bridge with two Fender 70th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless Strat single-coils in the middle and neck positions. The humbucker uses an Alnico 2 bar magnet.
How do the Quadra Tap S-1 switches work?
The volume S-1 switch splits the Quadra Tap humbucker to enable single-coil operation. A second S-1 switch located on tone 1 activates the "hot" voicing. All four humbucker voices are available in both humbucker and split modes.
Do the neck and middle pickups eliminate hum?
The two 70th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless Strat pickups are noiseless single coils installed at the neck and middle positions.
