Fast, no-hassle installation. These great-sounding assemblies include prewired control pots, 5-way switch, capacitor, knobs and pickup hardware. No soldering — hookup is fast and easy, and you're ready to rock. No complicated wiring diagrams and no guesswork.

1 Install the jack and screw its white (hot) wire into the connector’s right-side terminal (as viewed from the bottom of the pickguard).
2 Screw the jack’s black (ground) wire into the center terminal.
3 Clip your tremolo claw ground wire (or the ground wire from your non-tremolo bridge) off your old control pot, strip away 3/16” of the insulation, and screw the wire into the left-side terminal.
You’re ready to rock!

Classic 1950s tone. 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. Each pickup has 2-1/16" (52.39mm) polepiece spread, and vintage-style fabric-insulated hookup wires. The neck and middle pickups are 6.0K ohms; the bridge pickup is 6.4K ohms. Or get an extra wound 6.6K bridge pickup: HOTwired Pickguards!

The right look. Golden Age prewired 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.

Use our Prewired Tremolo Claw to make it
even EASIER to wire up your new guitar!

Pickguard screws are available separately.
