The pickguard was a gift for my guitar-geek son (very talented player AND a do-it-yourself guitar improver). As expected, the pickguard was a perfect drop-in fit (Fender factory, right?), and the tone is fabulous - all we had hoped for.

But what was even better was the service I received from Sweetwater. Not only did they deliver on-time and as-promised, but I received several calls (from a real-live person!) letting me know when the guard was shipped and asking about quality of service. This is over-and-above my expectations, and is the reason I'll return for more guitar gear next time we need it.

Thanks,Mitch!

Ordered these pickups 2 day delivery.i installed these pups in 45 minutes.made my2012 road house strat sound like a southern rock machine.sounds fantastic with my new tone master pro .highly recommend upgrade to any mex strat.playing guitar for 58 years.thanks sweet water

This upgrade made my Squire Strat into my favorite guitar by far. It now has amazing tone that begs to be played straight up with no effects. To me it is now a Fender, not Squire Stratocaster.

Got this to replace some other Fender pickups that were too hot for me. These really fit the bill. I had Sweetwater install these and do a complete setup. Completely changed my guitar tone to exactly what I wanted. They are not the "noiseless" pickups but still do not produce any extraneous noise. The tortoise shell pickguard looks great with my 3 color sunburst. .

Turned my white mim strat into my favorite guitar, really had no idea what I was missing until I installed these.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
