Used LOADED STRAT PICKGUARD Guitar Accessory

Used Loaded Strat-Style Pickguard w/ Ceramic Single-Coil Pickups & 500k Pots

Estimated Year: Modern (2010s–2020s)

Made in: Likely China / Import

This used loaded Strat-style pickguard comes fully assembled with three ceramic single-coil pickups, pre-wired controls, and shielding, making it a ready-to-install upgrade or replacement for Strat-style guitars. The pickups feature ceramic bar magnets and are voiced for a hotter, more modern output compared to vintage-style Alnico single coils, offering strong mids, clear highs, and a slightly compressed response that works well for rock, pop, and general-purpose playing.

The electronics include three 500k audio taper pots, which provide a brighter overall tone than traditional Strat wiring (typically 250k), along with a standard 5-way selector switch and a .22µF tone capacitor. The full aluminum foil backing provides effective shielding to help reduce noise and interference.

This is a great option for Squier, partscaster, or project builds looking for an easy drop-in loaded pickguard solution.
