Brand new unit, tested and then taken off since I decided to go with a different setup. This still has the plastic label and plastic protective film on the pickguard. Note that this not only has the awesome noiseless pickups, but also a push / pull pot and 5-way selector switch for an awesome array of tones possible. This is a left handed pickguard, but the pickups are universal if you wish to put them on a right handed setup FYI. This comes with the screws for mounting.

Everything is 100% authentic Fender Japan – no aftermarket parts. All original electronics from the MIJ Traditional’70s Strat: three alnico V single-coil pickups (neck, middle RWRP, bridge), 5-way selector switch, volume pot, two tone pots with push/pull functionality. 022µF ceramic capacitor, and all original cloth-wrapped wiring. Matching output jack with wiring harness. This gives you the classic neck+bridge “quack” sound (like Tele position 2) that standard Strat wiring can’t do. Engage it in position 1 (bridge) for that spanky, scooped-mid tone – perfect for funk, country, and clean rhythm work. All factory wiring, not an aftermarket mod. Fully functional and tested – pots are incredibly smooth with no scratchiness, pickups are quiet with no microphonics. You get genuine MIJ Fender electronics – known for their quality control and that sweet spot between vintage warmth and modern clarity. The push/pull mod expands your tonal palette without any drilling or permanent changes. Message with any questions.

Custom boutique hand/scatterwound Vintage Stratocaster pickups in a loaded 7 way pickguard or A blend knob on tone knob 2 is an option instead of the push pull Volume knob. TRUE Left Handed version available but in 5-way only. All middle pickups are RWRP and Magnets are Staggered & beveled. I build 8 different vintage version of Stratocaster models. See my other adds. #1 Pre CBS 57-62 Model 5060VF, I use a 59 Neck, 62 RWRP Middle and 61 Bridge. Vintage 42 Heavy gauge Formvar wire. #2 Early CBS 64-1970, Grey Bottom pickups and changed to 42 gauge plain enamel wire. 1 CHOICE OF Pre CBS 57-62 black bobbin Vintage spec Alnico V. 187 diameter magnets using 42 gauge Vintage Formvar Remington Wire. 2 OR EARLY CBS 64-70 Grey bottom Nicknamed ” The Jimi Years ” using Vintage spec Alnico V. 187 diameter magnets using 42 gauge Vintage Plain Enamel Remington wire. These pickups are completely built by me in my USA, Ohio shop using USA suppliers at mie music. Also a local recording studio. I specialize only in Vintage Stratocaster pickups and for years now my Hand Wound Vintage tone pickups, magnifies the harmonics, the incidentals, the upper octaves, the fifths and the relationship of the pick to index finger strikes while maintaining strong sustained fundamental tone and real clarity. Most of my favorite Vintage Fender pickups have a little bulge in the middle and not the flat sides you see in CNC machined pickups. I added the bulge to replicate my Vintage pickups. Here are my steps. 2 I dip the unwound completed Flatwork with magnets installed in Lacquer. Dry for 24 hours. 3 Then I hand/scatter to the coil to my proprietary way of winding with 42 gauge USA Remington wire of your choice, Vintage Formvar or Plain enamel. 5 Wax dip with 80% paraffin 20% beeswax at 140-150 degrees for perfect response and clarity. 6 Charge the Magnets. 7 Install on the Pickguard. I use CTS / Fender pots. The Volume knob is a push / pull knob. When in position 5 and the knob pulled it adds the bridge. In position 4 when pulled it adds all 3 pickups in parallel. When not pulled it performs like a Standard 5 way Strat. 8 My stock pickguard colors are White, Black, Mint green, Red tortoise and Vintage Brown tortoise. But be sure to ask about other colors. I have been playing Strats for over 50 years and had a bucket full of dead pickups so I started taking them apart to find the weakness. I found that the wiring had rubbed against the coil magnets until they shorted out, so that’s why I lacquer the flatwork before winding. These pickups are made to last and give you a great Vintage tone and low cost upgrade to your instrument.
