Fender Pre-Wired Stratocaster Pickguard Tex-Mex SSS Tortoiseshell 11 Hole

Classic Strat Feel with Enhanced Output and Hum-Free Clarity

This Fender Pre-Wired Stratocaster Pickguard with Tex-Mex single-coil pickups gives you a quick and effective way to upgrade your tone without fuss. Built in the same factory as Fender guitars, it drops straight into any 11-hole Strat body, making installation straightforward and reliable. The Tex-Mex pickups deliver classic Strat chime with added punch, thanks to overwound coils and Alnico 5 magnets that boost dynamics and enhance note definition. The reverse-wound middle pickup helps eliminate hum in positions two and four, giving you clean, usable tones for both stage and studio.

With a three-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and aged white controls, it adds a touch of vintage style while maintaining modern performance. The staggered pole pieces help balance string response across all positions, and CTS 250K potentiometers provide smooth, consistent control over volume and tone.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Tex-Mex loaded pickguard is a great way to add character, clarity and classic Strat versatility with minimal effort. In most cases, you just need to remove your old pickguard, solder the ground wires and output jack for the new guard, screw it in, and you're ready to plug in and play!
