SSS / HSS / HSH Prewired Electronic Assembly for Stratocaster type guitars – Solderless

A high quality electronic replacement / upgrade for Stratocaster style guitars with 3 single coil pickups, 1 humbucker and 2 single coils or 2 humbuckers and one single coil. Since the components are customizable you can chose your desired layout and values. The layout is a per Fender USA/MEX Standard strat. This will fit squier or other guitars but we can not guarantee the layout will be the same, the pots and switch need to be fixed to the plate, if you are unsure if this plate will fit onto your pickguard you can purchase one of our pickguards, all the pickguards we sell at Valley Sound for Strat will work.

Comes standard with a Karman Vintage Style 5 way switch, Full Sized Brass Shaft Potentiometers (Either flat bottom or with the notch – depending what we have available). 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 solderless connector. It is easy to do, the connector is spring activated so you just press on the orange part with a screwdriver, insert the wire and release. All the ground wires go to the bottom terminals and each hot goes to top terminals. They will be colour coded so you know where to put the hot of each component:

Output jack hot gets connected to the white terminal
Neck pickup to the blue terminal
Middle pickup to the red terminal
Bridge pickup to the yellow terminal

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. Please order via our Valley Sound website in order to select from these customisable options.

Volume Potentiometer options:
– Linear (B250k / 500k)
– Audio Taper (A250k / 500k)

Most modern guitar manufacturers (or non Fender USA Standard guitars) use 250k Linear pots for volume, Standard / Vintage US Strats typically come with Audio Taper volume pots. Both work but linear has more even controll, Audio Taper has most of the controll happen between 7 – 10.
