Alnicov Loaded Prewired Pickguard Set SSH Alnico V Single Coil Humbucker Pickups，for Fender Strat ST Electric Guitar Replacement，Black

I put this on my hard tail squier, it was a little difficult because the pickguard came with 2 red and one white wire ( no grounding wire like the default squier has), for any one wondering I just soldered one red and the white to the audio jack, and the other red to the bridge, and it sounds great. No unwanted feedback and the tone is great. Bridge humbucker has a super clean tone, and when putting on distortion its a nice heavy tone. Only downside is you have to drill some holes but thats alright.

I am returning to learning guitar after originally quitting on it back in high school about 7 years ago. I picked up a '90s Korean Squier strat from a pawn shop and threw some upgrades on it, including this kit. Also put on Grover locking tuners, a $23 wilkinson tremolo, and graph-tech nut and string trees.The pickguard did require a little bit of trimming near the bridge in order to properly fit as well as not all of the screwholes lining up, but given how cheap of a kit this is and that it's going on a cheap squier, I'm not really concerned with that. To my novice ears, the pickups sound good and I like the HSS configuration since that is what was stock on my Squier.Connecting the ground and the jack was pretty easy, however, soldering is something I am not a novice at and I have nice equipment for that, but a beginner shouldn't have any problems. There's plenty of slack in the cables if you mess up and need to cut a fresh new end of wire. If you get a constant buzzing noise, you probably wired the jack backwards, so just swap and resolder the cables there. (speaking from experience lol)I also think it looks way more badass than the generic white pickguard and pickups. Think it has kind of a punk rock look, which also fits too cuz the guitar body is kinda beat to hell and back even though you can't see it in the photo lol.If you're looking at putting this on a more expensive guitar, I would look to reviewers a little more qualified than I am, but for my use case, I am very happy with my purchase.

Unusable. The first issue I noticed while installing it was that the screw holes were drilled in the wrong place and didn't fit my stock Squier Strat. Only 3 of the screw holes were close enough to put in the screws at an angle.Then I noticed that the pickguard was too big by the bridge and went over the bridge. It would've needed to be sanded down in order to fit.I thought I'd deal with that, and drill new holes in the body and sand down that edge of the pickguard, but when I installed it and plugged it in, there was unbearable feedback. The actual guitar audio was barely audible over the hum and feedback. I had my friend's dad, who's a professional at fixing guitars, look at it and he tried to fix it, and it didn't help.Purchase at your own risk. Yours might work just fine, but mine didn't. That's the risk you take when you buy Amazon spec Chinese garb. There's no consistency in quality.

Used this to upgrade my new Chinese Squire strat to a better sound. The ceramic pickups are ok but they don't have that vintage sound on the old LP's. I had a sound in mind when I got the squire but it just didn't have it. The pickguard holes did not match on the new Stratocaster and it didn't work as a straight swap. It had two terminals with big solder drops that while they didn't make contact it wouldn't work. when I saw the problem I just desoldered the pickups and soldered them into place on the original pickguard keeping the original pots and switch. Very nice crunchy rasp without any FX settings, kind of a sax sound if that makes sense to you. The tone dials actually make a difference with the new pickups that they didn't with the ceramic pickups. Amazing value even though I didn't use the pickguard, it was kind of scratched up despite the plastic covering, perhaps meant to look vintage to match the sound? The chrome covers were very nice, giving it all more expensive look. To be honest, I had planned on changing it all out to the old pickguard but was afraid to do all the soldering, but it turned out to be easy anyway.

I originally just loved the look of black guard with chrome and wanted to pimp out my black strat. So it looks good and it is indeed good sounding pickups for the price also. My 4 star is due to the unbalance tonal blend of the humbucker. It's not bad, it's just not liking . I already nodded it by rewiring it to a master vol, 1 tone and a 7way Gilmore toggle switch. Your not gonna go wrong if your looking to change up for a SSH pre-wired . Easy install.

Had to drill new holes, still fit pretty well

The media could not be loaded. I like it I was worried cause I didn’t want to be the first but it looks awesome and sounds good. I did have to drill new holes cause not all of them lined up with the holes that it had already

Looks nice but it isn't worth drilling new holes. Plus the pickguard was a little scratched.
