Gilmour's Black Strat Loaded Pickguard $260 shipped.
Up for sale is a fully loaded pickguard that I built with USA appointments and includes a great Gilmour set of vintage pickups:
Seymour Duncan SSL-5 in the bridge
Fender Custom Shop '69 in the middle
Seymour Duncan SSL-1 in the neck (the Gilmour uses a Fender Fat 50, but I found the tone in the SSL-1 to be superior. They have similar voicing, but the SSL-1 is a bit more authentic in my opinion)
Included is the legendary David Gilmour mod - a recessed mini-toggle switch between the 5-way switch and the control knobs. This switch is recessed so you only see the top of the switch - think of it as a stealth switch. Very cool. The recessed switch turns on the neck pickup in any position of the 5-way. Essentially, it creates a Bridge+Neck in position 1 and Bridge+MIddle+Neck in position 2. Position 3, 4, 5 are unchanged (middle+neck; middle+neck; neck only).
The pickguard is completely wired and ready to drop into your guitar! The electronic specifications:
-Single-ply black pickguard with modern 11-hole configuration
-Custom routing for stealth switch
-Custom recessed switch bracket & mini-switch
-1 CTS 250k volume pot
-2 CTS 250k tone pots
-USA Fender 5-way switch
-Fender white switch tip and VTT knobs
-Angelica vintage capacitor
-Vintage "push-back" wiring
-Ground leads for bridge and body grounding (with claw and screw)
-Pots and switches are completely wired, including Gilmour's neck pickup mod
The pickguard has seen light use, but is in excellent ++ condition overall. This setup is really versatile, and the tone is just amazing!!! I was really happy with these pickups, and I'm sure you will be too! I'm selling since I just bought a Les Paul and need the cash!
