This Listing Is For a. 920D Generation Loaded Pickguard 7 Way with Toggle for Stratocaster – Tortoise / Black. This offering is the culmination of 15 years of learning and work. With a thick single-ply black pickguard, a recessed mini toggle for seven-way switching, and pickups designed to perfectly emulate the tone that shaped the sound of rock, this is sure to take you to the dark side of the moon and beyond. Based off of the iconic Black Strat®, the tone from our Generation Loaded Pickguard is astonishingly familiar. By recessing the mini toggle, you will never accidentally engage / disengage your “neck on” mod. This guard looks great and sounds even better. We’re very proud of the work we did to develop everything that goes into this Loaded Pickguard, and when you have it loaded into your favorite Stratocaster®, you’ll completely understand why. 7-Way Wiring Upgrade allows you to harness the tone. The mini toggle adds two extra switch positions on top of the classic 5 positions – Bridge / Neck and Bridge / Middle / Neck. Unlock the tone that greatly influenced the sound of rock with one of our 7-Way Wiring Harnesses. 1 – Single Ply Pickguard. 3 – Skirted Knobs. 3 – 920D Custom Generation Pickups. 3 – 920D Custom 450G Series 250k Pots. 1 – Genuine CRL USA 5-Way Switch. 1 – Recessed “Neck-On” Mini Toggle. 022?

Type: Loaded Pickguard (4 Ply Tortoise). Search tips for GEAR. The STRATosphere lists new, like new and used gear every day Monday through Friday. If you have specific requests, please don’t hesitate to message us and we will do our best to get the items you are looking for. We can’t always list everything we want in our titles to identify all of the items key features. Here are some tips and search terms to help search our listings for what you are looking for. We generally offer guitar/bass bodies in three body configurations if they are bolt-on neck guitars. Body hardware (Body with Bridge & Tailpiece if applicable, strap buttons, neck plate with screws, back plate/trem covers if applicable). Loaded Body (Complete body with all electronics, wiring, hardware as it would come new without modifications unless specified otherwise). Body (Body with Strap Buttons Only). We generally offer two neck configurations. Neck Tuners Tuners On. It may say Neck & Tuners, Neck + Tuners, Neck w/Tuners, etc. Neck (will give you results with and without tuners). We offer guitars/basses that are set neck, neck through, or bolt on guitars as a husk to be the base for your custom build. Body & Neck, Body + Neck, etc. We offer Guitar/Bass electronics in several variations. Minimal Soldering would be required to get the electronics in your custom build and would generally consist of connecting a ground wire, input jack or toggle switch, after the electronics are in place on your guitar/bass. Loaded Pickguard This is similar to the Pickups parts and knobs configuration but the pickups would be in place and attached to the original pickguard from the guitar. A Strat Loaded Pickguard would have everything attached to the pickguard so it would pop into your S style guitar, minor wiring and minor adjustments but all original solder joints in tact between pickups and pots. Pots Switch (Potentiometers, Switch, Capacitor and all wiring with as many original solder joints as possible, from the guitar/bass specified). Other tips would be to keep any extra words out of the search. If you put in any word into the search that doesn’t match our title, it won’t show that we have it. We always specify the fingerboard wood without abbreviation maple, rosewood, ebony, etc. Stratocaster is always STRAT, Telecaster is always TELE. Common Series naming that may help you search: Classic Vibe 50s/60s/70s, American Vintage always has AV II and the full year 1963, 1977, etc. , Standard, Professional II, Professional Classic, Vintera, Sonic, Affinity, Road Worn, Ultra, Ultra Luxe, etc.. Artist series will have their last name in the title but don’t try to find everything by full name. Color is always mentioned in the title for the body unless it is only one option (Buddy Guy or SRV Loaded Body for instance). The color may be abbreviated so it may be best to try a couple different ways (surf, green, srf) or leave a color out and browse the options we do have for a specific series you are looking for. Please reach out if you have questions or don’t find what you are looking for. We have a great customer service team and we’re happy to assist! Do we offer discounts? Any sort of potential discount or deal would likely be dependent on the specific item(s) that you’re interested in, and we’d need to know the 12-digit item number of the item to investigate them further since there are a few different factors that may go into pricing, such as changes implemented by manufacturers, the age of a particular listing, and so on.

We do always have discounted items that get released on the 1st of every month, and we generally have at least 1 end of the year sale. To offer its customers at great prices. Where do we get the products we sell?

Most of our items are considered “open box” items because they come from whole instruments that have already been assembled from the factory, set up to play, and passed through the factorys quality control department, so it should have little to no play time on it, and they should be free from any defects too! If we sell items that are Used, demo or B stock, they will be clearly marked as such in the titles of our listings. Lastly, theSTRATosphere would NEVER sell counterfeit products where we claimed it to be something it was not, or from a guitar/bass that it wasn’t. We pride ourselves on transparency and we have dedicated customer service staff that will work hard to get you the gear you are looking for. Is the part you are looking at compatible with your guitar/bass? For the best fit and function, we can only recommend pairing items that are the same make and model.
