Prewired Strat Pickguard FAQ's

General FAQs

Here are quick answers to common questions we get:

    Product FAQ's

    These are frequently asked questions about our Prewired Strat Pickguard. If you have a question that you don't see listed here, click "Ask A Question" in the Quick Links section above.

    • Can I return my pickguard?

      No. Your pickguard is completely custom-built for you, so we cannot accept returns.

    • What warranty applies to the pickguard?

      10 Years on our Pickups, 1 Year on electronics, parts, and pots.

    • What does the baseplate do?

      The Baseplate adds a touch of power and output to the Bridge pickup. This mod is removable and is only available on certain models.

    • What does the Bright Switch mod do?

      The Bright Switch modification adds a bit of clarity, brightness and output when you pull up on the push-pull modification. This mod only affects pickups installed with 250K pots, so it won’t work on our Steel Pole 43’s and High Outputs.

    • What does the Volume Kit do?

      The Volume Kit (or Treble Bleed circuit) prevents your tone from getting darker when you roll your volume down.

    • Does my Pickguard come with Hardware?

      Yes! We ship all pickguards with the screws needed to install your pickguard.

    • Do you sell Matching Backplates (Tremolo cover)?

      Yes, we do! Simply check “Add matching backplate” in the “Options & Upgrades” box.

    I am building a White Strat and originally was going to make it a Hendrix left handed copy and play it upside down. Ended up with a right handed White Fender Player series and the prewired pickguard was tops on my list of ways to improve the guitar. I ordered a white 3 ply with the Woodstock set (wound right handed after being called and asked about it) Fralin wiring with the blend pot so I could do the best Strat sound ever B&N pickups together. Plus the magic cap option with the treble bleed circuit. Could not be happier with how quickly the pickguard was custom built and arrived in 12 days. Pickups sound wonderful across the board in every combo of pickups , really pleased with the middle pickup by itself. I did not and most like will not desecrate Jimi by attempting to imitate him but he is one of the main reasons that I have played guitar for 50 years after hearing Are You Experienced when I was 7 or 8. Great sounds , great customer support and great pickups means I must have been dealing with Fralin ! Thank you very much !

    Nothing sounds like a Fralin. In a boutique market saturated by new builders sticking their name on connect the dot schematics, Lindy is an original and the quality and tone prove it. I have a couple other guitars I bought with Fralin’s, but this time I had a vintage G&L that was missing it’s original pickups. Not trusting anyone but Leo or Lindy, and Leo being sadly unavailable, I sent my pickguard in for Fralin Steel 43’s and a split steel, as the design looks the closest to Leo’s original MFD’s. I also added a push pull with treble bleed circuit, another push pull with cap options, and of course Lindy’s own blender knob. The craftsmanship almost made me not want to solder the thing in but just hang it on a wall. But sweet mercy, I’m glad I didn’t just display it. The sound is everything you would hope in your tonal quest, and everything you would expect if you have played Lindy Fralin’s before. Also that blender knob is indispensable. Thank you Lindy Fralin and company!!

    I ordered a Prewired Strat Pickguard (Woodstock pickups, Hybrid Stagger, Fralin wiring with the blender pot, 0.022mfd Film & Oil Cap, baseplate on the bridge pickup and volume kit) and I put this in my 2019 Fender American Ultra Strat. It took maybe 15 minutes to install…. I could never get into the nosieless pickups, just never sounded like I wanted it to, but the guitar played great. If you are on the fence about ordering an upgrade from Fralin (like I was for a long time), do yourself a favor and order today! Night and day for my strat, I absolutely love the way it sounds now. My only problem is that I’m going to need to replace the pickups in all my other guitars! A+, 100%, 5 stars, whatever the highest rating I can give… get some Fralins in your guitar!!

    It has taken me a while to be in a position to review the prewired Strat pickguard I’d previously purchased because it was for a guitar I was assembling from parts, but having now put it all together, I’m pleased to say I’m absolutely delighted with my purchase! All of the pickups & wiring was really well put together and the pickups sound great and very powerful! I’m using them on a ‘strat-style’ electric 12-string and they work really well. The ‘blender’ option I selected, giving the option of either neck & bridge pickup together, or all 3 at once seems to work particularly well with the 12-string, with the latter being my favourite. The bridge-pickup with its optional metal baseplate sounds really good when playing through my amp’s distortion channel too – instant ‘Jimmy Page Stairway to Heaven Live’ sound! I was also very pleased with the ordering process via the Fralin website, with the ability to completely customise one’s order, including pickguard & pickup cover colours, adding a ‘treble-bleed’ to the volume, the aforementioned ‘blender’ control, etc. I can highly recommend Fralin without hesitation!

    I’m predominantly a blues player playing 40+ years now. I got the Vintage Hot for the neck, Real ’54 for the middle, and Blues Special for the bridge for my 2012 American Standard Fender Strat. Each has their own unique characteristics, yet really balanced between all three. I find they compliment each other very well. I couldn’t be happier with the tone. I also have the Fralin Big T telecaster pickups I discovered on the Analogman site and a pre-wired telecaster control panel in my Fender telecaster. Truly amazing, as well. If and when I start gigging again these two guitars will be my go-to without question. Thank you, Fralin for all you do.

  7. Brian McKinney

    Verified Purchase

    Thrilled with the results of my Strat build, mostly thanks to the ease, quality and tonal bliss of the Fralin pickups! I ordered a Real 54 neck, Blues Special middle and bridge. I emailed about compatibility and got a quick response. My order shipped very fast. Install was a breeze with the instructions. I’ll be using Fralin to overhaul my other guitar as well. Awesome products, awesome customer service!!!
