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!

I just installed a Golden Age pre-wired pickguard assembly on one of my Fender Custom Shop Strats and it is fantastic. The guitar came to life and is now the very best sounding Strat in my collection. Installation was a no hitch operation as well.
