    Put this in my "starter pack" Squier HSS. Great improvement over what was in it. Sounds great and made it fun to play again. I will say That if you have used copper tape to shield the inside, make sure you lay a piece of electrical tape down as insulation. The switch in a squier body is close enough that it will ground out. Thus, not producing any sound. After I did that, no problems.

  • Would make any Strat sound great

    The completed pick guard was easy to install, it's quiet, and the pickups sound awesome.

    You must have a solder gun if you want to do it your self. But such an authentic sound, check youtube for all audio reference

  • Excellent vintage strat sound

    I got this for a Squier upgrade project. It fit pretty well. These pickups are classic Strat. They have that bright glassy sound. It's my only Strat that I really have to ride the tone knobs, but they sound amazing for the price. Note: I specifically bough these because they were not RWRP. This is the original non-hum cancelling 2 & 4 positions. I really like the consistency of sound you get this way when switching pickups.

    Not only does this sound awesome, but the staff at Guitar Center were incredibly helpful when they installed it.
