Complete 1963 Strat Upgrade - Just Transfer And Drop In!

There is nothing more disappointing than a pre-wired pickguard that doesn't line up to the mounting holes or fit properly, which is why we offer ours on a template so you to transfer onto your existing pickguard! 

Get legendary 1963 Stratocaster tone with professional-grade wiring in one complete prewired pickguard harness. This complete drop-in solution features our flagship '63 Strat Pickups—the slightly overwound golden-era pickups that deliver authoritative Strat tone with more push and presence—perfectly prewired with extreme detail on a pickguard template. All you need to do is transfer to your pickguard and install with only 3-4 simple solder connections. Transform your Strat in minutes, not hours. 

What you'll get: Three of our hand-wound 1963 Strat Pickups delivering bold, authoritative vintage tone with enhanced output and midrange push, premium 275k CTS pots with tight 9% tolerance (individually meter-tested and hand-selected for optimal performance), custom Brickhouse oil-filled capacitors for transparent vintage tone, genuine Centralab 5-way switch, and complete professional wiring on a pickguard template ready to transfer. This is a complete Stratocaster electronics upgrade in one package.

Why it's unique: We believe in precision, not compromise. While many companies use standard 250k pots with a wide 20% tolerance—meaning they can perform as low as 200k—we use custom 275k CTS pots with a much tighter 9% tolerance. But we don't stop there. We individually meter test every pot, hand-selecting the highest readings for your volume control, and slightly lower readings for your tone controls. This meticulous calibration guarantees your guitar delivers maximum high-end sparkle and touch sensitivity, making every note clear and vibrant.

Combined with our Custom Brickhouse Oil-Filled Capacitors—specifically designed to give you the most transparent and vintage tone possible—and our legendary 1963 Strat Pickups with their slightly overwound design for more authority and push, you're not just upgrading components. You're unlocking your Stratocaster's true voice with the sound that launched blues-rock into the stratosphere. Professional-grade wiring, legendary 1963 tone, drop-in installation—all in one complete prewired pickguard harness.
