New pickup day
Got this Pure Vintage '57/'62 loaded pickguard a while ago and finally got around to installing it into my player plus strat. I actually really liked the way the noiseless pickups sounded, very crisp and bright. But I have a bunch of other humbucker guitars for that higher clarity & output. I wanted a true single coil SSS sound and this setup sure does deliver. It was my first time soldering on a guitar and it was surprisingly pretty easy, only 3 solder joints to un-make then re-make. Overall very satisfied with the modification. The new pickguard was white, so I ended up swapping all the new electronics back to the old mint green pickguard because I like the way it looks better.
