The Fender Stratocaster is one of the most versatile guitars on the market, but what if you could expand those tonal possibilities even more?

That's where pre-wire pickguards come in.

Available in tortoiseshell, black or parchment, Fender's pre-wired pickguards are loaded with everything you need to change the sound of your guitar with a simple plug-and-play addition.

So, if you're thinking about some pre-wired pickguards for your Strat, here are some reasons why you should consider picking some up.

Authentic Fender Sound

These pickguards are made in the same factory as Fende'rs iconic guitars, so you know you're getting the same product that would adorn a typical Stratocaster, delivering you the sound that you can rely on.

Easy Installation

You can drop these pickguards in the body of your guitar with ease. All you need to do is simply remove your old guard, solder the output jack and ground wires, screw in the new guard and you’re ready to rock with pure Fender sound.

Classic Looks

You know you're playing a Fender Stratocaster with these pre-wired pickguards, as they boast the same five-way switch, flush-mount pole pieces and pickguard materials that you've come to know since the Strat was introduced in 1956.
