Wiring Kit for Stratocaster


Read 24 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Here's what you need for wiring those pickups into your Strat®! All the parts, plus a diagram to show you how.

The standard kit is an economical choice for any wiring job. It has standard PVC-insulated wire and Alpha pots.

The premium kit features cloth-covered push-back wire — the right wire for Fender and vintage-style guitar circuitry. The pots in this kit are upgraded to CTS brand for longer life and a smoother, more accurate response.

Thanks!!!

an affordable quality product. The switch was fine. i put them in a Cheap strat knock off not even a first act and they did wonders. even though they may not be the best parts ever they do the trick but you have to think, all this stuff would run you 40-50$ at the local guitar center for the price and all the parts it is worth every penny. now i got to work on my soldering skill hehe. Thanks stewmac

Did the trick

Tossed this in a heavily modified mid eighties squeir bullet. Not the greatest stuff, but still very good.

Was slightly short on wire but thats probably because it wasn't a true strat I was working on.

Awesome kit

Very good kit, the switch is just fine, atleast to me. The wire is good, the pots are smooth and just how they should be. The switchcraft jack is very good also. I would buy this kit again if I needed to rewire another Strat.

Good all except for one important problem

I just installed these parts in my new pickguard. The pots installed without a problem but the screws supplied with the 5-way switch are to short for a 3-ply pickguard.

Now I have to find replacement screws in order for it to install.

Exactly what I needed

This kit came with everything that I needed to rewire my Strat. I was even left with a few inches of wire left over afterwards, impressive considering that the wiring job included an extra switch.
