Pickguard Assembly Kit

Our Custom Gilmour Style Black Strat Pickguard Assembly Kit Includes The Following Items:

  • Your choice of either a Standard 11 Hole or Vintage 8 Hole premium quality custom made 1 ply black Acrylic 0.120" pickguard, pre-routed for our recessed mini-toggle switch modification kit (right handed versions only).
  • Custom stainless steel Recessed Mini Toggle Switch Mounting Bracket.
  • SPDT mini toggle switch for neck/bridge pickup selection modification.
  • Three CTS 250k audio taper split shaft potentiometers.
  • One CRL 5-way pickup selection switch.
  • Sprague Orange Drop tone capacitor (Your choice of 0.01 uF, 0.022 uF, 0.033 uF or 0.047 uF).
  • Treble Bypass Filter Kit.
  • Custom stainless steel 4-1/4" Super Short Black Strat Style Length Tremolo Arm.  For standard vintage Fender tremolo blocks with 10-32 UNF thread for tremolo arm attachment.
  • 22 AWG connection wire.
  • RG-174U Mini Coax - Shielded main audio lead.
  • 0.032" diameter Sn60/Pb40 3.3% flux solder.
  • Black Strat wiring diagram with neck/bridge pickup selection modification.
  • Treble bypass filter wiring diagram.
All of the above components are of the highest quality.  We want you to have the best quality parts you can get for your project.  All you have to do is add your favorite pickups and control knobs.  We stock some of the most popular pickups for this project; Fender Custom Shop Fat 50's, Fender Custom Shop Custom '69's, Seymour Duncan SSL-1 and SSL-5

One of the most significant features of this kit is the recessed mini toggle switch.  It's a unique feature that is synonymous with David's Black Strat.  We don't glue ours to the back side of the pickguard with a piece of plastic or sheet metal, we use a sturdy piece of custom formed stainless steel that is strong and easily mountable underneath the volume and tone potentiometers.  It is not a permanent piece of the pickguard, but when installed becomes an integral part of it.  The routing of the slot for the recessed mini toggle switch is probably the most difficult and unique feature of this pickguard, you have to be precise to make sure that it aligns perfectly with the mini toggle switch and that it is of correct proportions so you don't have an ugly hole in your pickguard. We make sure that there is perfect amount of space on each side and just long enough to accomidate the toggle levers amount of throw accurately.
