$20 Prewired PickGuard Review

[@GiggleFits]

I just ordered this today can not wait to put it in my unbranded start

[@3cardmonty602]

For $20 that's a steal!

[@markknight6445]

I have one too, fantastic value. Massive improvement over stock Squier IF you want a warmer sound.

[@dewaynewhite2928]

WOW!! You just convince me to get a few of them to upgrade my yard sale guitars!!!!

[@Stratisfied22]

I bought one of these a while back and all I can say is that it’s awesome. Blows my Mexican ceramic pickups away. Mine has the Alnico 5 pickups and that is what you want IMO.

[@danstheory4164]

The electronics is pretty shit though, pots and selector feels cheap as hell. Definitely needs shielding because it's quite noisy. But the tone is amazing, already ordered a quality wiring harness to replace the cheap ones.

[@danstheory4164]

@off spec im not really good in soldering, but soldering pickups is still doable. I soldered the pickups with the wiring kit(not sure what cap value), 250k pots and copper shielded the entire cavity and pickguard. So much better than my stock squier ceramic pickups, and it's almost dead quiet even when using distortion.

[@steveryczek2198]

I bought one of those. I wanted the off white pick guard mostly. The pickup covers say alnicoV on them and sound pretty good but I had Texas Specials,so I didn't need the pickups. I wound up selling the pickups on CL for $30-still got the electronics in a Baggie . All in all I came out ahead on that deal......for once. Well worth what you pay for it. The Chinese seller even sent me an e-mail profusely thanking me for my purchase.....All that for $22...BTW..regular strat pickup covers aren't interchangeable with the ones that come with this pick guard......the magnet holes don't line up.

[@muddyslaughters106]

Thanks for the review. I recently bought the same one for my squier, but haven't installed it yet and I was curious about the sound. It sounds amazing!

[@stgoa4848]

Very good review. Very nice play that allows to discover this loaded pickguard. Thanks!

[@Abenjohar22]

Great playing guy love it !!

[@Cobalt00001]

This was a big help to me thanks!

[@misterknightowlandco]

I got one of these for shits n giggles... Couldn't believe it even worked at that price let alone sound good...

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Sounds alright to me ! Fender has the audacity to charge 40 euro just for a scratchplate !

[@cabanasanthony6799]

Just Purchased the same ones , Just for the hell of it..... I sold My YJM fury Loaded pickgaurd so these look like an dam good replacement and save some money. Your review convinced me to be comfortable.... its cheap however all wired and pickups and Guard. pre wired...Hell yeah.... Might upgrade to 500k pots if it comes with 250's

[@voiceofreason8594]

Where did you get the Tele Body and Neck? The neck looks like it came from Guitarfetish.

[@74dartman13]

That's an awesome deal! Can't beat it!

[@juancarlosencisosalgado7891]

I got my loaded pickup today its awesone for that price

[@RonaldLeggettJr]

Juan Carlos Enciso Salgado I love mine

[@74dartman13]

Watched your video again. Noticed the guitar rack...nice! I think you're gonna like the Tele. I built a kit one and I really like it. Sustains like crazy!

[@johnhowe4079]

Still have the guitar ? Wondering if you could measure the pickup resistance.

[@adamadams3381]

Hi Ronald, what is this for song you are playing?

[@toneseeker87]

Alnico V is a very underrated pickups, wired it with right pots and right caps and resistor and your own treble bleed settings. I have these in my strat. It's a cheap killer and i put 10's a fat tone!

[@colaboytje]

Alnico V isn't a pickup. It's a magnet. No, Alnico V pickups are not underrated. All Fender Pickups for strats have alnico V magnets. It's hard to find alnico 3 or Alnico 2 based pickups. You'll have to search for boutique pickups if you want those.

[@rschua7]

colaboytje the name of that $20 prewired pickguard is Alnico V... made by homeland pickups.

[@mikey380sx]

@@colaboytje is it? There are plenty of affordable II’s and III’s around. I’ve even seen mixed pickups with three V’s and three II’s in em. Haven’t heard them though so I’ve no idea how they would sound.

[@colaboytje]

@@mikey380sx Fender pickups! Not other brands. Please read my comment again.

[@mikey380sx]

@@colaboytje ooohhh. My apologies! In fairness I got confused because you didn’t say it’s hard to find FENDER alnico 3 or 2 based pickups. So I thought you were speaking in generals terms lol.

[@dominiccollison7778]

i have alnicov pickup covers but the baseplate is clear and it doesn’t look like how it looks in this video i don’t know if they’re alnicov pickups or not?

[@zacgibb172]

If it's just a straight bar across the bottom, they're ceramic. I just bought this, so if it's fake, that sucks haha

[@thaddeus3896]

Do you think its is a twangy sound?

[@davidmmccardle4131]

Hey, Ron do you have a Peavey, T-60 guitar, because l see one over your right shoulder leining against the wall, which looks like a case for one, l have one also, blonde and in good condition, l would like to sell.

[@thawthaw03]

what k are pots?

[@colaboytje]

What did you do to that guitar? Put it on fire? Also, where was the John Mayer part?

[@stephenhookings1985]

Do you recall what pot values for tone? Some folks suggest the 250K log are good compromise for tone. I ordered one of these types of fully loaded pickguards to use on an old squier. I also got some 250k log pots on order just incase they have 500k. I will extend the metal film on pickguard to as to complete the shielding I already have. Thanks for the demo.

[@jakethesound4586]

All 3 Singlecoil strats always come stock with 250k Log Pots. #Standard

[@colaboytje]

A 500k pot in a strat would sound harsh, and frankly horrible. 250k is the standard.

[@DSTaylor69]

Awesome.

[@Raspytom]

I bought two humbuckers for $ 22. hope it will be good: D

[@pulidomi]

can you tell me the seller?

[@juancarlosencisosalgado7891]

Your guitar looks like mine lol

[@ShiroJinoku]

How does this compare to the ammoon pre-wired pickguard?

[@RonaldLeggettJr]

I would pick this one it has a great sound for the price

[@sergeramic]

At the begining part of your vdo it sounded nice beefy and warm, how is it that in the later part where you use the looper.it sounded thin brittle and anoying!? &$&#%

[@paultomlin8278]

I've always loved the Les Paul but hated the weight of it

[@monmac1165]

Pickups sound the same in all positions except the bridge....

[@rijosigns]

i had no issues at all playing ammoon loaded pickguards live no issues at all

[@homeagent]

is the one being reviewed from Ammon?

[@rcemusic8949]

Planning to buy one..🙂😂

[@carlosperezdelema]

I can't find it, care to share a link?

[@RonaldLeggettJr]

The link should be in the description😁rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292191733357

[@sekretlowrider4046]

[@markknight6445]

[@ymelfilm]

[@vibovistan8965]

Headstock scary😅

[@GospelBluesMan]

too much hum

[@barclaybass2327]

"As you can see there are fairly good pickups in here" Really? You can tell just by looking how they sound, eh?
