Transformed

Player series Strat is like a different guitar. Resonates and sustains much better with greater clarity.

Instruction manual doesnt mention that your current pickups may have additional grounding wires that dont need to be reconnected due to the 9V power supply.

Roars

I have several of these pic guards installed on Fender Strats and one Charvel. The Charvel a Mex Jake E Lee. Required some minor fitting at the neck, and two guard screw holes drilled at the bridge end. Install on the Fenders, American and Mex were drop in. I have the other EMG active guards as well. They are great. The Gilmour guard is at another level. It just roars. Hard to play another Guitar once you play this. Playing through a ENGL head and cab. A observation, The same EMG pic guards on several different Strats all sound unique to themselves. The some of there parts thing. They all roar.

Best STRAT Sound Ever

I just started using the Gilmore EMG set and i am thrilled. The sound on my Strat is WOW like amazing. No more thin and over bearing tin piercing treble sound. The added mids are sweet and more delicious then i have ever heard from a strat before. I have some EMGs on my Tele also and that was life changing, but the Gilmore Black Set DG20 has really brought an awakining to my Strat playing. I have quite few Strats and I guess i'll be saving some bucks to get another two or three more sets.

Glassy clean and sparkly sound.

Best solution for me. I hate the middle pickup on strats but like the tone. The problem is that the middle pickup gets in the way especially when finger picking. Lower the pickup but you still catch finger nails and picks on the pole magnets with traditional strat pickups. With these being ceramic coated and smooth, it solves a major issue. I even lowered the middle pickup and lost no volume. Play anything on these but if you play metal, use middle, bridge or combination and only turn on middle boost. Sustain is unreal. Super clear sound.

Great sounds to be had!

Awesome pickguard...Sweetwater delivers! I put this in my 2015 American Fender Strat. Fit like a glove, installed and restrung in 20 minutes. No hum and I can dial in a bunch of great sounds. My only complaint was FedEx delivering it to the house 2 doors down...dumb@sses! Sweetwater once again, outstanding service!
