This Fender pre-wired Stratocaster pickguard features the ever-popular Custom Shop Texas Special SSS pickup set, delivering the bold, mid-forward Strat tones Fender is known for—plenty of bite on the bridge, a punchy, expressive middle position, and a warm, rounded neck pickup that still retains clarity. Designed to capture the hotter, blues and rock-leaning side of classic Strat sounds, Texas Specials respond especially well to dynamic playing and amp-driven breakup.
The tortoise-pattern pickguard pairs vintage style with modern reliability. Fully assembled with Fender wiring and quality USA-made components, this pre-loaded pickguard is an easy drop-in upgrade for any Strat-style guitar routed for SSS pickups.
This pickguard was previously installed in a guitar and is gently used. The pots date to 2024, and everything functions exactly as it should. There are some light pick swirls on the guard from normal playing, but no cracks, breaks, or functional issues. The original box is included.
A solid option for players looking to upgrade their Strat with a proven Fender pickup set and a classic look—ready to install and ready to play.
