Classic tone
These prewired guards are loaded with Golden Age single coil pickups, wound to vintage specs with 42 AWG coil wire. Staggered Alnico 5 polepieces deliver authentic tone and the hot bridge pickup adds plenty of punch.

- Golden Age single-coil pickup set: neck, middle, and overwound bridge positions
- 250K-ohm CTS control pots (3)
- CRL 5-way lever switch
- Orange Drop® capacitor
- Knobs (3)
- Mono Switchcraft output jack

All this is then hand wired to a shielded pickguard using 22 AWG vintage-style push-back wire. Pickguard mounting screws are available separately.
