Fender Pre-Wired Stratocaster Pickguard Vintage Noiseless SSS Single-Coil Tortoiseshell 11 Hole PG

Drop-In Stratocaster Wiring With Vintage Single-Coil Clarity and Reduced Hum

The Fender Pre-Wired Stratocaster Pickguard with Vintage Noiseless pickups is designed for players who want a cleaner SSS Stratocaster upgrade without building a full wiring assembly from scratch. The 3-ply tortoiseshell 11-hole pickguard comes loaded with three Vintage Noiseless single-coil Strat pickups, aged white controls and chrome hardware, giving compatible right-hand Stratocaster models a complete pre-wired pickup and control layout.

Vintage Noiseless pickups are built to deliver single-coil Strat tone without the usual hum, making this assembly useful for stage, studio and home recording where noise control matters. Alnico 2 magnets provide a warmer attack and less aggressive midrange, while polysol-coated magnet wire and staggered hand-bevelled pole pieces support a smoother, more balanced response across the strings.

The control layout includes master volume, neck tone, and bridge-middle tone, with 5-position blade switching for standard Stratocaster pickup combinations. CTS 500K volume and 1 Meg tone pots help preserve clarity, while the passive, shielded construction keeps the setup straightforward.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this pre-wired pickguard is ideal for Stratocaster players who want lower-noise single-coil sounds, familiar SSS switching and a cleaner upgrade path that avoids sourcing each electronic component separately.
