You are looking at a brand new hand-wired loaded pre-wired HH pickguard with Dimarzio DP166 (Breed bridge) and DP165 (Breed neck) humbuckers hand made in USA. Both humbuckers are F-spaced version designed for strat guitars, so they will line up well with your strat’s strings. This pickguard is designed to replicate the famous guitar master Joe Satriani’s and Steve Vai’s signature tone. If you like Satriani’s early tone in Surfing with the Aliens, Summer Song, Love Thing, Cool #9, Always with Me, you should get this pickguard and upgrade your strat. The Breed pickups are also used by Steve Vai in many of his recent songs for the excellent midrange frequencies. If you’re a fan of Steve Vai, you’ve probably seen him playing an Ibanez Jem guitar with the word “Pogo” taped on the face. Follow these masters’ choice, and you won’t go wrong. We guarantee you will hear the improvement in tone! The pickguard also comes pre-installed a Seymour Duncan Liberator system that allows you to install your wires without soldering. You don’t need to solder anything to install this pickguard onto your beloved guitar. Just screw on the wires from your input jack and bridge claw, that’s it! Very convenient and easy! The pickguard is brand new in black. The white dots you see on the photo are reflections of lighting on the plastic film, not blemishes. There is a protective plastic film on the pickguard to be peeled off after you install it on your guitar. This listing is for regular 11 hole pickguard, and it will fit all Fender American, Mexico, Japanese, and Custom Shop strat with 11 mounting screw holes. Everything coming with the pickguard is brand new top quality parts. Brand new Dimarzio DP165 and DP166 humbuckers hand in the USA. Brand new Fender 50s style 3 way toggle switch (the middle position is the two humbuckers combined sound). Brand new Seymour Duncan Liberator system that allows for solderless setup. You don’t need to solder anything. Just screw your wires on. Brand new Fender CTS pot (top quality, if you know them), turns extremely smoothly.

High quality no lead soldering tin free from oxidation (the same used on high end stereo system). Scorching PAF-like Tone for Trem-equipped Axes. Although not as hot as DiMarzio’s Evolution humbucker, The Breed takes the tone of their popular PAF Pro and makes it bigger and louder. It offers plenty of dynamic touch response, churning out massive voltage when you pick hard, but cleaning up nicely when you back off. The guitar-slingers here at Sweetwater have found that The Breed kicks out loads of midrange punch, round lows, and screaming harmonics, especially on 25.5-scale, trem-equipped axes.
