Seymour DuncanDave Murray Loaded Pickguard
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For Stratocaster players pursuing heavier guitar sounds, this Dave Murray Loaded Pickguard puts two Hot Rails pickups around a JB Jr. middle pickup in one prewired assembly. The bridge Hot Rails is described as fat and harmonically biting; the middle JB Jr. adds punch and clarity in positions 2, 3, and 4; the neck Hot Rails targets warm, expressive lead work. Four-conductor leads are splittable, and vacuum wax potting is specified for squeal-free operation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stratocaster players building metal and hard-rock sounds without hum.
- Players using positions 2, 3, and 4 for punch and clarity.
- Guitarists wanting an easy-to-install loaded pickguard with splittable pickup leads.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars that do not use an 11-screw USA pickguard pattern.
- Players looking for a pickguard other than a Stratocaster-specific assembly.
