Fast, no-hassle installation. These great-sounding assemblies include prewired control pots, 5-way switch, capacitor, knobs and pickup hardware. All you do is install and solder the supplied output jack, attach the ground wire, drop the pickguard assembly into your guitar and screw it down. You're ready to rock, with no complicated wiring diagrams and no guesswork.

Classic 1950s tone with fangs. Golden Age vintage-style Alnico 5 staggered polepieces and AWG42 coil wire deliver! The pickups are individually wound for optimum output at the neck, middle and bridge positions, and wax-potted for microphonic suppression. The middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity, for hum cancellation at the #2 and #4 switch positions. Our special 6.6K-ohm Golden Age Hot bridge pickup has extra windings that will get your playing noticed! (The neck and middle pickups are 6.0K ohms.) Each pickup has 2-1/16" (52.39mm) polepiece spread, and vintage-style fabric-insulated hookup wires.

The right look. Golden Age Hotwired pickguards are available in popular colors. White and matte black pickguards are single-ply with 8 mounting screw holes; laminated pickguards have 11 holes. Each pickguard is .100" (2.54mm) thick, and has foil conductive shielding on the underside.

Pickguard screws are available separately.
