From the 1968 meeting to a stage-ready sound
On March 28, 1968, Seymour W. Duncan met Jimi Hendrix at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, where Jimi was playing two concerts at the Field House Arena. Seymour brought him hand-wound pickups, installed by Roger Mayer on Jimi's white Stratocaster before the instrument went on stage. This story marks a turning point: today, this pre-wired pickguard lets you access that legendary sonic spirit in a format designed for today's musicians.
Who is it for and what is it used for?
This "Standard Style" pre-wired pickguard is aimed at guitarists who want to transform their Stratocaster (standard pickguard format) without undertaking a full rewiring. Ideal if you're looking for dynamic clean tones, expressive crunches, and a sixties-style attack, while maintaining familiar Strat ergonomics (5 positions) to switch from warm neck to biting bridge tones.
A complete Strat electronics setup designed for the "reversed" character
The 3-ply pickguard integrates three Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix signature pickups, wired to 250K potentiometers and a 5-position selector covering classic positions, including the intermediate ones with the famous "quacky" tone. Each pickup uses a reversed magnet to recreate the response and bite associated with a right-handed Strat played upside down. The result retains vintage grain while remaining practical for rehearsal, studio, or stage, with a clean and reliable installation.
