This HH pickguard is loaded with Seymour Duncan Invader pickups and a 3-way pickup selector. The bottom tone knob also controls the tone of the bridge pickup, while the middle tone knob controls the tone of the neck pickup. This loaded pickguard should be grounded to your guitar by utilizing the bridge ground and body ground wires that should be on your Strat® from the factory. If you're building a new guitar from scratch then you will have to source some 22 gauge ground wire.

Here is how Seymour Duncan describes these pickups:


Installing an Invader changes your guitar’s DNA. No matter how dangerous your stock pickup claims to sound, the Invader will transform your guitar into the mean, heavy-sounding beast you always knew it could be. The Invader’s power comes from the combination of specially overwound coils, three large ceramic magnets, and its striking, oversized metal oxide pole pieces. These unique pole pieces expand the overall magnetic field and widen the frequency spectrum, which is why every note played through an Invader sounds so rich and massive. The ceramic magnets add depth and clarity while the large hex caps deliver smooth string-to-string balance.

The Invader delivers the thickest, deepest low-end response of any passive pickup we make. Chords sound almost subsonic with lower tunings, but balance nicely with the crunchy treble, keeping everything well defined. While the Invader bridge looks mean and vicious, because it is mean and vicious, the Invader neck humbucker is surprisingly warm and smooth, despite its intimidating looks, and yields a thick crunch and moaning sustain.
