After years of modifications and tinkering I thought it time to get the old Stratocastor back to how it was when Mom cosigned my credit form in 1974. I installed the prewired pickguard and now the guitar looks and sounds great...almost as it was when bought.
Pros: Easy replacement with respectable kit. Awesome.
Cons:
- I expected a 3 position switch like the original but got a 5 position switch instead. I'll happily live with this even though I still have the corroded 3 position original (along with one original pickup and the 1974 tone pots and capacitor).
- The mounting screw holes' countersink is not as wide, so the original screw heads stick out a little bit. I will have to widen the countersink later for a better screw fit
-The protective plastic sheeting could not be pulled off cleanly. I had to remove the knobs and trim around the pot mounting hardware to get it all off.
A great buy if you want to return your old overly-modified Strat back to something nostalgic.

vintage tone

I have been using hybrid pick-ups for ages and wanted to go back to a more traditional sounding strat. I am very happy with these pick-ups, as a hendrix fan, i can get all the great Hendrix tones from these pick-ups and the bonus was that the treble pick-up has its own tone control, so live I can keep the bass pick-up brighter and tame the highs on the bridge!

Installed on Fender Player, very happy with result. But you definitely should check demos / reviews before buying. They aren't most versatile ones. Covers vintage sounds good. Great funky quacks in N+M. Unusable (for me) bridge pickup, but it's as supposed.
