AxLabsHabanero 3 Ply 11-Hole Mount Pre-Wired S/S/S Pickguard Black White
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in black and white, this three-ply Habanero pickguard packages an S/S/S pickup set and its controls into one pre-wired Strat-style assembly. The Habanero Serrano single-coils use Alnico III magnets, with fuller, warmer tones and chimey highs described across the set. Positions 2 and 4 deliver the familiar quack character, while the five-way switch, custom linear-taper pots, Orange Drop capacitor, cloth-jacketed wiring, and Pure Tone PTT1 jack complete the signal and control hardware in the same assembly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing a compatible Strat-style guitar to a black-and-white S/S/S pre-wired pickguard assembly.
- Players who want five-way pickup selection with the described positions-2-and-4 quack character.
