Guitar Pickup Replacement Sturdy Easy Installation Loaded Prewired Pickup Pickguard Practical White Durable for Electric Guitar Parts, Black with Switch

I've owned a Lotus Strat clone for over 40 years, a guitar that has proven itself to play better than some of my much more expensive American Strats. However, over time, the stock pickups lost their magic touch, possibly due to the unique experiences I've put this guitar through. I used it for a Hendrix tribute act, even subjecting it to Ronsol, and lighting it up on a fireproof mat during "Voodoo Chile." I imagine the wear and tear over the years, including the fiery performances, might have taken a toll on those pickups.Faced with the options of investing in pricier replacements, I decided to give the budget-friendly route a chance first. My backup plan was to hand over the pickguard with these pickups to my nephew for his project guitars, should they not meet my needs. At just $23, I had modest expectations. Yet, what I encountered was pleasantly astonishing. These pickups surpassed all my anticipations, and I can't sing their praises enough. They offer the remarkable advantage of around 12k ohms output with the switches on (right when looking down at the guitar), and approximately 7.5k ohms when the switches are off. This setup grants me the sonic versatility of both humbuckers and single coils within the same guitar. What's even more impressive is their reduced noise compared to some of my pricier split pickups.So legitimately, these pickups boast impressive dynamics, especially in comparison to the Ibanez Quantum pickups on my recently acquired RG450dx. These affordable pickups smoke the Ibanez alternatives by a significant margin. I almost want to order another set of these and load them in it, and I might if I find the holes lineup, because good lord do the Quantums suck!So negatives - If I had to raise a concern, it would be directed at the kill button. Its response time is a bit sluggish for effective use as an effect, and I find its practical use rather limited. Although it might find its place live for cutting noise between songs, I generally rely on a gate for noise control. Additionally, I concur with the common sentiment about the installation holes. To mount them, I had to resort to using a Dremel with a 3/32 bit, but such minor hurdles are all part of the game.

So I am installing this on a fender squire, I have no experience in soldering and have no experience modifying guitars. First thing I do is use my brain and Google how to install a preloaded pickguard. I get several guides on the web and know for the fender squire this does not fit "properly" but if you don't mind taking your time to slowly make a just snug fit around the bottom of the pentometer or whatever and angle some screws it works and it's amazing. Wire the white cable to your output jack and run a black wire out the gap towards the lower pentometer snaking down into the input jack. Then you want to snake the other one of the black wires to the claw thing at the back of the guitar under the back panel and solder it into the recess to ground it and assemble and your done 👍. If there was a guide I could probably do it in about 30 min (to be safe). So happy playing! I strongly recommend if you don't mind attempting to solder or are experienced! There are no instructions or diagrams so I hope this helps!

Put this on a EART Stainless Fret Strat. The stock EART pickups were really bright (even for a Strat).Even though, I had to trim the guard a little (2mm) on the right side between bridge PU and bridge for a solid fit & create new pickguard holes for the guard screws.The tones from these hot rails & humbucker is Dunamis!!! I love the middle rail split to single coil, and the neck rail with no split (humbucker position) = Bluesy Fender quack with authority!. All positions without splits are really good also.This guitar has now made it way into my top3 list alongside a LP and Strat with Blackie Midrange Boost and beating a USA made SG.The stop switch is a good feature also. If you are able to mod a little, I recommend upgrading any Strat style guitar that has a good neck.The pots are tiny, but the sound is very large and good.

Neck pickup didn't work. Traced problem to coil winding wire being broken where it comes out of the pickup. Pickup would work if you squeezed it and the wire ends touch. To fine a wire for me to mend so I put in another pickup I had lying around. The coil split switches don't seem to do anything as far as I can tell so I wouldn't buy this for that.

I have not put one on a guitar yet, but did try it all out, sounds are endless.This thing is just loaded.Three humbuckers, each with it's own coil cut switch, the metal mini switch, not the cheap plastic ones where the toggle breaks off.Decent Ibanez style five way switch.Kill switch, again steel construction.Three ply pickguard.I sat at my bench, (I am a luthier in SE Tennessee), and added up what I would have to pay for all the parts, not counting the wiring. I used all no-name products to keep it similar. Came up to about $80.I bought a black one, and a white one. They will both go into Strats down the line.Takes a long time to get here, but it is worth it.I just bought my 4th to add to my builds.

After removing from the packing I proceeded to install on the guitar. I had to remove some material from the neck area to get a proper fit. This was expected. After getting the fit correct I started the soldering process. That’s when I noticed there was no white wire to solder onto the input jack as shown in the pictures. The switch had a red wire attached to the center lug on the volume pot. It was logical to solder the power wire to the other pole of the switch. It worked but had a constant buzzing that got louder when i touched anything metal. I then removed the power wire from the switch and soldered it to the center post on the volume pot. Buzzing was no better. Then I noticed that wit the volume turned up all the way the buzzing stopped. I guess I will be playing it at full volume and turning my amp way down. Very disappointed.
