Detail 01
Prewired pickguard
The pickguard is prewired, but the output-jack and ground wires require soldering during installation.

Independent shopping perspective
The shell-finish Fat ’50s prewired pickguard is made for Stratocaster guitars with an SSS pickup configuration. It replaces the existing guard as a prewired assembly, simplifying the main swap, while still requiring two soldered connections: the output jack and ground wires. Remove the old guard, complete those connections, and screw the replacement into place as part of your Stratocaster customization or maintenance work.
