Dark Moon -’70 Vintage Studio Strat Loaded Pickguard. Hand-Wound on the Isle of Wight. DSOTM-Style Mid-’70s Tone. Prewired Black 3-Ply. The Dark Moon loaded pickguard is hand-wound and hand-wired for players chasing the bright, glassy, low-output Strat tone David Gilmour used throughout Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. Built for clean, expressive playing – shimmering highs, scooped mids and smooth dynamics, just like a proper mid-’70s Strat. No hype, no marketing fluff – just a clean, accurate, hand-built assembly using the right materials. Fits Fender American and Mexican Standard Stratocaster bodies. Check the pickguard dimensions in the photos to confirm fit. All pickups: South Up. DC Resistance & Inductance. Bridge: 5.9k? / 2.50H. Middle: 5.8k? / 2.45H. Neck: 5.8k? / 2.45H. Wire: 42 AWG Plain Enamel. Spacing: Vintage 52mm stagger. Potting: Light wax potting (keeps the vintage openness). These values recreate the open top end, scooped mids and smooth dynamic response associated with mid-’70s Strat tone – the DSOTM-era Gilmour sound. Prewired Black 3-Ply Pickguard. Cream knobs + cream switch tip. 0.022µF bridge tone cap. 0.047µF neck/middle tone cap. Fully soldered and ready to drop straight in. Ideal for DSOTM-era Gilmour cleans, classic rock, blues and expressive studio lead tones. Hand-built consistency and matched inductance give reliable performance and proper mid-’70s character. Fully wired black 3-ply pickguard. Boxed and ready to install. This is an independent aftermarket product and is not made by Fender, nor endorsed by David Gilmour or any associated brands. Any reference to tone or era is descriptive only.

This listing is for a Loaded Pickguard. It is in good working condition. At the time I tested it, neither the pots nor switch were scratching. It came from a Fender Squier Standard Series Stratocaster that I parted out. It comes with a set of 11 screws. Make sure to check the pictures and ask any questions before purchasing.
