Part of my Bench Series – builds assembled from quality components pulled from previous projects, reworked and tested on the bench. Fitted with Fender V-Mod II pickups, CTS pots and an upgraded Fender Oak Grigsby 5-way switch. These pickups are used in the American Professional II series and are known for blending vintage warmth with clear, modern articulation. A versatile setup with good balance across all positions – clean and articulate, but still able to push when you lean into it. Fender V-Mod II pickups. RWRP middle for hum-cancelling in positions 2 & 4. Fender Oak Grigsby 5-way switch. Protective film still on pickguard.

This Loaded Stratocaster SSS pickguard features Alnico 5, hand-wound with hotter on the bridge and clean on the neck pickups wound and assembled entirely by me. It’s a drop-in replacement for most modern Strats. Just solder the output jack and you’re ready to play. I hand-wind every coil myself in small batches, chasing that clean, airy, bell-like Strat tone I’ve always loved. I gig with the same pickups I sell and I’m constantly tinkering with Strats. This is not a kit full of cheap parts, it’s a lovingly built piece of gear made in short runs, one at a time. You’ll hear the difference: classic Strat chime, great definition, and touch-sensitive response. Wiring follows vintage Fender spec. The neck is right about vintage 50s spec giving you a bright bell like Strat tone and the bridge is slightly warmer to balance the volume. The middle is a balance between the two. It’s a relatively bright winding of the pickups with scooped mids and nice high end. If you want a different colour or spec, check my other listings or send me a message. I often have variations available. Elektrisola 42 AWG wire. Alnico 5 rod magnets. RWRP middle for hum-cancelling in 2 & 4. CTS dish back pots. Genuine Fender 5-way Grigsby switch. Pickguard still has protective film.
