Liberate Your Strat

Seymour Duncan's Classic Fully Loaded Liberator Pickguard for Strat is your answer to a classic problem. Love the chime and quack of a vintage Strat - but not the noise you can get with single-coils? This set gives you a complete, easy-to-install Strat pickguard loaded with three great-sounding Duncan Stack Plus pickups - as well as Duncan's revolutionary Liberator System, for convenient, solder-free pickup swapping. You also get a coil-splitter, so you can run your pups in single-coil mode if you want. Your Strat called - it wants Seymour Duncan's Classic Fully Loaded Liberator Pickguard.

Seymour Duncan Classic Fully Loaded Liberator Pickguard for Strat at a Glance:
  • All the Strat tone you know and love
  • Look, Ma - no noise!
  • Solder-free pickup swaps
All the Strat tone you know and love

Seymour Duncan's Classic Fully Loaded Liberator Pickguard arms your Strat with three Stack Plus pickups: a Vintage Hot Stack Plus in neck position, a Classic Stack Plus in middle, and a Custom Stack Plus at the bridge. this pickup combination gives you enormous tone, without the noise. You get beefy output, while retaining the Strat's characteristic spank, sparkle, chime, and chunk.

Look, Ma - no noise!

Seymour Duncan's patented Stack Plus design injects tunable negative hum into the pickup circuit to cancel out hum - and it works like a charm, giving you noise-free humbucker operation, but with the sound of single-coils. Every pickup is individually tuned at the Duncan factory to serve up traditional single-coil sound, without hum. If you want to run your pickups in single-coil mode, however, you also get a coil-splitter. How's that for freedom of choice!

Solder-free pickup swaps

Seymour Duncan's Liberator Solderless Pickup Change System is a godsend. Think of it as a patchbay for your pickups. But are the connections as secure as solder joints, you ask? Well, let's put it this way: if you have an inexpensive hardware-store soldering iron and little-or-no experience making solder connections, a Liberator connection is going to be far superior to a less-then-perfect solder joint (and just as effective as a proper one). Everything is color-coded and all you need is a screwdriver - so you can concentrate on being a musician, instead of an engineer. With Duncan's Liberator system, changing pickups is a piece of cake.

Seymour Duncan Classic Fully Loaded Liberator Pickguard for Strat Features:
  • Custom Stack Plus in bridge position
  • Classic Stack Plus in middle position
  • Vintage Hot Stack Plus in neck position
  • Sounds great on well-balanced instruments with either maple or rosewood fingerboards
  • Recommended for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock
  • Liberator system lets you swap pickups using only a screwdriver
Realize your Strat's potential with Seymour Duncan's Classic Fully Loaded Liberator Pickguard

Seymour Duncan loaded pickguard
I'm well pleased with the sound and performance of this pickguard .I was nervous to get it at first , but installing it is pretty easy.It only takes maybe 50 minutes and that's taking your time .To me the sound is high quality .Jonathan at Sweetwater, , once again great job!!!

Fantastic! Just resolder the 1 wire that Matthew Pofahl mentioned in his review!
These pick ups are amazing. Seymour Duncan's support is really good. These pickups became perfect when I did the mod that Matthew Pofahl spoke about in his review.

I just moved 1 wire, and the bridge pickup is now connected to the tone pot. Now, that pick up is MUCH BETTER & less harsh, even with the tone knob all the way on. And, it's always nice to be able to tame the bridge pickup.

And, the middle pickup sounds GREAT with not being connected to the tone pot. I actually find that pickup much more usable.

Read these 2 reviews for more info. (There's nothing to lose with the mod. You can always resolder the wire if you don't like it.)

Seymour Duncan Classic Fully Loaded Pickguard
LOVE the sound of the SD's! Replaced the original HSS configured pickguard on my MIM Strat (that plays beautifully, by the way) with this SD pickguard and couldn't be happier! GREAT tone! Get it. You won't be disappointed!
Music background: Playing for 55 years
Must have
WOW what a nice sound ! Used this on my MIM, it just never sounded great. This pick guard gave me the Strat sound that I was looking for with a simple installation. Forty minutes later I was tuning her up. Pick ups didn't even need adjusting. Quiet as a mouse and quacks like a duck !
