Prewired Strat Pickguard

As always, and never disappointed, thank you Lindy. Picking pickups are about as personal as making a life change or a career path. Ultimately, the “best” pickup is subjective and depends on your individual preferences and the specific sound you’re aiming for. I had Fralin do the whole bundle, so I bought these Real “54S in a loaded pickguard. Added the baseplate to the bridge pickup, hybrid stagger, master tone with a blender pot. into an alder body, maple neck Mexican made strat. Pure nickel strings. I am running this through two Morgan MVP66 heads, four – “four ten open back cabinets loaded with Kendrick 10” black frame speakers. Just this without any effects is simply over the top. And how I wanted it. Again, thank you Lindy for a product well-made and no disappointments.

The Fralin prewired pick guard set did not work correctly after installation. The Volume Pot had a major issue and had to be replaced, due to sound not available until knob was turned up to 7+.
Took the guitar to my guitar luthier and he was able to correct the issue with replacement of volume pot.
Disappointed with quality, with this investment amount. Not sure if this set was properly tested prior to shipping.
On the fence with pickups sound and still working to find the tone, that is similar to the YouTube videos for Fralin review.

I’ve been exclusively using Lindy Fralin pickups in all my guitars since 2006, and I can confidently say they’re the gold standard for tone and performance. Over the years, I’ve ordered a wide range of Fralin pickups to match custom specs, including reverse-wound sets for noise cancellation, prewired pickguards, Split Blade noiseless pickups, Vintage Hot single-coils, Steel Poled 43s, and most recently, High Output humbuckers. No matter the style or application, Lindy Fralin consistently delivers the best tone and dynamic response I’ve ever experienced.
What sets Fralin pickups apart is their incredible clarity, articulation, and dynamic sensitivity. Every note sings with a rich, musical quality, whether I’m playing clean or with high gain, the pickups respond to my playing with a lively, expressive feel that brings out the nuances in my technique. The Vintage Hots offer that classic Strat sparkle with a touch more warmth and midrange punch, while the Split Blades provide a noise-free experience without sacrificing the single-coil character I love. The Steel Poled 43s give a focused, bell-like tone that cuts through a mix, and the High Output humbuckers deliver thick, aggressive tones with surprising note definition, even under heavy distortion.
I’ve played with national recording artists and regularly perform with my church worship team, and tone has always been my top priority. Lindy Fralin pickups have never let me down; they elevate every guitar I install them in, from vintage Fenders to modern custom builds. The attention to detail in their craftsmanship is evident in the balanced output, harmonic richness, and the way they capture the essence of each guitar’s natural voice while adding their own magic.
After nearly two decades of using Fralin pickups, I don’t even consider other brands when swapping out stock pickups. Lindy’s consistency and quality are unmatched, and their customer service is exceptional when ordering custom specs. Do yourself a favor and invest in Lindy Fralin pickups! You can’t go wrong with any of their products. Whether you’re chasing vintage warmth, modern versatility, or something completely custom, Fralin will deliver tone that inspires you to play your best.

My Loaded Fralin Pickguard Kicks Ass . The you tube review I saw does not do these pickups justice . They are amazing . I highly recommend these pickups I have .
Neck : Vintage Hot
Middle : Vintage Hot
Bridge : Blues Special.

Sorry I haven’t responded before now but I’ve only just recently finished the build on my Partscaster, and have just been playing and enjoying the sound these pickups deliver.
To review your Blues Special pickups the word that immediately comes to mind would be “Sweet”! These pickups with the Blending function allow me to dial in the unmistakable sound of a true Stratocaster. Just unbelievable how smooth and clean these pickups are. Thanks!

A luthier friend donald dunlavey recommended these pickups from you and im very pleased with them i have the blues specials and they are thicker sounding and hotter than my other 1965 strat with its original ones , I’ll buy again thanks

Amazing loaded pick guard…pickups are amazing….will buy more items from fralin…great stuff

I recently ordered a pre-wired Fralin pickguard (With Vintage Hots and a Blender Pot) for my ’83 SQ Squier Stratocaster. The build quality of these early Japanese Strats is rightly admired, and I’ve loved this guitar for over 40 years, but I’ve always felt that the pickups were its only weak point — good enough for most things, but just a little bland and mushy.

No longer. I’m amazed by what these new pickups, and the new electronics, have done for what was already a fine guitar. With the way it sounds now — the warm, punchy lows and beautiful high-end clarity — I’d now put this instrument up against any Strat anywhere. It’s just the way a classic Strat is supposed to sound. It’s perfect.

Thank you Lindy and team!

Love these pickups! Full, robust, somehow both clear and warm. I haven’t found a bad sound yet. The blender knob is useful and provides a variety of sounds. The magic cap is…pure magic!

Good quality product, the Fralin team keep me informed of my order status….even though it was during the busy Christmas season. This is not my first Fralin purchase, and it won’t be my last! Highly recommended.

Wow! I’ve heard so many great things about Fralin pickups…they sound fantastic! I bought a pre-wired pickguard, dropped that beautifully put together thing in my Fender American Professional Strat and it’s glorious!

I went with Vintage Hot (neck, middle) and Blues Special (bridge), stock stagger and added the treble bleed and the Fralin Mustard Cap.

My Strat sounds like you want, clear, throaty and does all the beautiful Strat things.

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND
