A high quality electronic replacement / upgrade for Stratocaster style guitars with 3 Single Coil Pickups (SSS)
Comes standard with a Karman Vintage Style 5 way switch, Full Sized Brass Shaft Potentiometer for Volume and tones. Complete with all electronics soldered with vintage spec cloth wire, neatly wired up and installed on a rigid aluminum grounding plate (helps eliminate electrical noise at the same time) all you need to do is disconnect your pickups and output jack from your old electronic assembly and fit this electronic assembly to your pickguard and reconnect the output jack and pickups to our electronics. We also have the bridge grounding and output jack wire pre-soldered onto the assembly so you can feed the white and black wire through to your output jack (jacks sold separately) and 2nd black wire to your bridge for grounding. All the ground wires from your pickups go to the top of the volume pot, 3 blobs of solder are on top of the pot for quick soldering. The hots go to each position on the switch.
Please note - You would need to add an extra 24 - 48 hours to the lead time when ordering our prewired pickguards or electronic assemblies as we make them specially for each order. We can do solderless wiring harnesses and we can make any custom wiring assembly, browse the Valley Sound website for examples of other wiring configurations and mods we have done.
SPECS:
This standard solder-in wiring harness assembly comes with the following specs and components:

Potentiometer knobs are not included, please purchase them separately should you require. Potentiometers used will either be concave top or flat top, which ever we have available.
PLEASE NOTE: Thin bodied guitars with shallow routing (such as Squier Bullet and Affinity) may not accommodate this larger than standard switch, you need at least 35mm routing depth, check the area where your switch goes, if the routing for your switch is 35mm or deeper you can fit this pickguard without additional routing to the body. This grounding plate is made to the exact layout of Fender and Squier Stratocaster electronic layouts, we can not guarantee that it will fit other copies. If you are unsure you can either purchase our wiring harness without the plate or you can purchase a pickguard from us, all our strat pickguards will accommodate this plate.
