DiMarzio Pre-wired Pickguards

DiMarzio Billy Corgan Prewired Pickguard White

Featuring a BC-1 pickup in the neck, Chopper in the middle, and a BC-2 in the bridge, the Billy Corgan prewired pickguard lets you get a deep sound from the low strings without losing any punch, and won’t muddy the sound when you play through high-gain amps. To accomplish this, DiMarzio lowered the frequency response of one of the coils in each pickup just enough to boost the bass while opening up the mids. The end results are the guitar pickups that are now in Billy’s signature Strat. They do exactly what he wants in humbucking mode, and he’s found they work really well in split mode as well.The BC-1 and BC-2 When DiMarzio started working with Billy Corgan on the pickups for his signature Strat, they sent him several models to try out. He liked the Air Norton S in the neck, Chopper in the middle and Tone Zone S in the bridge. After playing them on several gigs, he asked for some changes in the neck and bridge pickups. He wanted a deeper sound from the low strings without losing any punch, and he didn’t want the sound to get muddy with high-gain amps. To do this, DiMarzio lowered the frequency response of one of the coils in each pickup just enough to boost the bass while opening up the mids. The end results are the pickups that are now in Billy’s signature Strat. They do exactly what he wants in humbucking mode, and he’s found they work really well in split mode as well. BC-1 pickup is recommended for: All positions, especially neck.Tech Talk: The output and DC resistance specs of the DiMarzio BC-1 and DiMarzio BC-2 are very similar to those of the Air Norton S. The difference is in the tuning of the coils, and how this affects the way they interact with each other. It can be described as more of a “feel” than a sound difference – Billy’s pickups seem to move more air.BC-2 pickup is recommended for: All positions, especially bridge. Tech Talk: The output and DC resistance specs of the DiMarzio BC-1 and DiMarzio BC-2 are very similar to those of the Air Norton S. The difference is in the tuning of the coils, and how this affects the way they interact with each other. It can be described as more of a “feel” than a sound difference – Billy’s pickups seem to move more air. Chopper If you’re a serious traditional Strat player, you probably won’t want to know about pickups with side-by-side coils. But if you’re the player who’s up for something more modern with no 60-cycle hum, string drop-outs or sustain-killing magnet pull, DiMarzio designed The Cruiser for you. Harmonic overtones are right where you expect them to be from a true single-coil, and the mid-range is open and vocal-sounding. It’s hotter than the traditional single-coil, and the bass strings have a bit more chunk; this is an excellent pickup to combine with medium-output humbuckers, and it maintains its tonal identity with high-gain amps and multiple effects. Recommended For: Bridge position with DP186 or Virtual Vin

DiMarzio FG2108 Fast Track Prewired Pickguard Black

Drop this hum-cancelling DiMarzio prewired pickguard into your Stratocaster to receive the benefits of a 3-ply-thick pickguard with a built-in volume knob, 2 separate tone knobs, a 5-way “blade” pickup selector, and the impeccable tone quality offered by 3 distinct DiMarzio “rails” guitar pickups.Neck Pickup: Pro Track DP188 It’s warm, it’s friendly, and it sounds like a vintage PAF pickup and will drop right into your Strat. The Pro Track has enough power for any pickup position, and the twin black blades mean there won’t be any problems with string-alignment or dropouts.Middle Pickup: Fast Track 1 DP181 The Fast Track 1 has a bright, clean sound—not at all like a full-size humbucker. The dual-blade continuous magnetic field creates an even string balance with very little magnet-pull, eliminating those out-of-tune occurrences common to rod-magnet designs. The Fast Track 1 pickup’s power is double the output of a standard single-coil.Bridge Pickup: Fast Track 2 DP182 Though it’s not any bigger than a single-coil guitar pickup, Fast Track 2 has 3 times the output of an average single-coil, with a huge mid-range and bass punch. This single-coil sized bridge pickup is particularly useful when you need a tightly focused jolt of power to crank your amplifier into rich overdrive.

DiMarzio True Velvet Vintage Prewired Pickguard White

Drop this DiMarzio prewired pickguard into your Stratocaster to receive the benefits of a three-ply-thick pickguard with a built-in volume knob, 2 separate tone knobs, a 5-way “blade” pickup selector, and the impeccable tone quality offered by three distinct DiMarzio True Velvet guitar pickups.Neck Pickup: True Velvet Neck DP175 It’s not difficult to make a vintage single-coil pickup that’s clean and bright, but not so easy if you also want the high strings to sound sweet above the 12th fret. The True Velvet Neck model was designed to make this happen by tuning the coil to a frequency range that’s bright but not thin. This pickup features a magnet stagger specifically designed to enhance string balance, which produces great clarity, even with full chords. The True Velvet Neck model comes standard with hand-ground magnets and vintage cloth covered wire.Middle Pickup: True Velvet Middle DP175S The neck and middle pickups have the same specifications except for reverse polarity on the middle pickup for hum cancellation in the 2 and 4 positions.Bridge Pickup: True Velvet Bridge DP176 The True Velvet Bridge is just a touch warmer and louder than the Neck and Middle, so the transition between pickup positions is smooth and natural.

DiMarzio Area Model Prewired Pickguard White

The DiMarzio Area Model Prewired Pickguard is for electric guitars with standard 11-hole pickguards. It’s got an Area ’58 pickup in the neck, Area ’67 in the middle position, and an Area ’61 at the bridge. Area ’58 The Area ’58 offers excellent treble response and dynamics with little magnetic pull and virtually no hum.Area ’67 In the middle position, the Area ’67 pushes sounds like the single-coil pickups of the late ’60s—bright and very clean. The Area ’67 totally eliminates hum and offers reduced magnet pull for improved sustain and clarity.Area ’61 Finally, the Area ’61 in the bridge position brings a steely, yet woody sound to the table. As with the other two pickups, the Area ’61 eliminates hum and features reduced magnet pull. These 3 guitar pickups combine to create unique, undeniably vintage tone.

EMG Pre-wired Pickguards

EMG EMG-GC21 SA Prewired Pickguard Set

The EMG-GC21 SA pickup and pickguard set combines the attributes of the early Stratocasters sound but with an added midrange response and higher output, giving it “bell-like” ringing harmonics and increased sustain. One single Alnico bar magnet delivers classic overdrive with a smooth midrange distortion, while still retaining the familiar high-end of a single-coil pickup. These characteristics provide greater versatility than what is normally found in single-coil guitar pickups. Favorites of Steve Lukather and David Gilmour just to name two, the EMG-GC21 SA Set comes with volume and tone controls, and a five-position switch which is all ready to mount onto your pickguard.Package Includes: EMG’s exclusive Quik-Connect cables (3), prewired control set including volume, 2 tone controls, 5-way selection switch (black & white knobs), output jack, and battery clip, screws & springs.

EMG EMG-DG20 David Gilmour Pre-Wired Pickguard/Pickup Set Ivory

David has used this same EMG system for many years on his main red Strat. The DG20 pickup comes with 3 ivory SA single-coil pickups, wired with an EXG guitar expander, an SPC presence control, and master volume — all on a deluxe white pearl pickguard, ivory pickups, and white knobs. The SA single-coil pickups feature Alnico magnets which give a full round tone with an accentuated mid range. The EMG-EXG guitar expander circuit increases the bass and treble while reducing the mids, perfect for chord definition at higher volumes, while the SPC makes the SAs sing by boosting the mids and turning your single coils into full blown humbucking!Now you can have the same guitar pickups and tone accessories as David, but keep practicing if you want to get to the “Dark Side of the Moon.”EMG-EXG For flexibility in tone at your fingertips, there is no better choice than the EXG guitar expander. The frequency response of the EXG is similar to normal guitar amp equalization. The lows and highs are boosted while the midrange is dipped out. The EXG is great for creating a fuller tone that doesn’t get muddy, while keeping it clean and clear, letting your guitar stand out in the mix.

EMG EMG-KH20 Kirk Hammett Pre-Wired Pickguard/Pickup Set Black

Kirk Hammett first visited EMG back in the early ’80s when Metallica was a local group on the rise. The KH20 system joined the EMG-81 with a pair of EMG-S single-coil pickups. These guitar pickups are all built around ceramic magnets for the tightest, most controlled sound. They’re mated with a five-position switch and master volume and tone controls. The KH20 comes pre-assembled on a custom pearl white pickguard with contrasting black knobs.EMG-S These pickups feature the same construction as the EMG-SA but replaces the Alnico magnets with ceramic. They have the equivalent output of the EMG-SA but feature a brighter tone quality accentuated in the upper middle to high frequency response (similar to later model Strat pickups). By using the EMG tone modeling technique, these pickups have “sparkle” with added definition for depth and increased sensitivity. With accent on high frequency, these guitar pickups have that classic single-coil sound without the disadvantages of high impedance single-coil design.

Lace Sensor Emerald/RW Silver/Purple Prewired Guitar Pickguard White

This Lace prewired pickguard includes Sensor Emerald, Sensor Reverse Wound Silver, and Sensor Purple electric guitar pickups.The Sensor Emerald: Lace has built these pickups since 1985. Used exclusively by Fender until 1996, Emerald pickups have the same specifications with the same great tone. Emerald Lace Sensor pickups have that Texas-inspired tone without the noise! It’s everything you want to play with the snap and bite of great southern rock sound.The Sensor Silver: Silver Lace Sensor pickups are designed to duplicate an early Fender single coil pickup. With its reverse winding, this pickup does even more to keep any hum at bay.The Sensor Purple: Purple Lace Sensor pickups have hot overwound single coil tone, between a Burgundy and Blue Sensor. It is designed for the bridge or a P-90-type tone in the neck. Crisp top end and bell-like tone, the Lace Sensor Purple utilizes the latest technology to provide excellent tone for today’s players.The Lace Sensor Purple guitar pickup has a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing annoying 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, yielding a wider tonal range and better string balance than traditional guitar pickups.Unlike ordinary pickups, it generates 36 separate magnetic “sensing” fields that, in the areas where they contact the string, “read” the strings’ vibration. (Regular pickups only generate anywhere from 4 to 12 fields).The Lace Sensor also has Radiant Field Barriers: metal slides that frame the inner core of the Sensors and perform two functions. The first is to shield the Sensor from the outside noise and 60-cycle hum. The second is to produce broader, yet more concentrated, umbrellas of sensing field than standard magnetic pickups.Less Noise, More Harmonics As compared to standard pickups, it reads a greater physical area of the string, while picking up less outside interference. This makes the signal-to-noise ratio nothing short of phenomenal for a single coil system. Also, a wider range of harmonic content is read by the Sensor, delivering a more complex tonal response.Increased Sustain, Truer Pitch Since it operates so efficiently, Lace Sensors can use much lower energy magnets than ordinary guitar pickups, and this in turn brings about a whole new realm of properties. In regular pickups, the magnetic fields are so strong they physically dampen, or drag on, the strings’ vibration, reducing sustain and actually changing the pitch. But in the Lace Sensor, string dampening is virtually nonexistent. This means your sustain is increased dramatically while the string holds its true pitch for the duration of the note.Lace includes a three-inch mini data CD that includes all its latest wiring diagrams in color along with Lace’s most current pickup and guitar catalogs. Also includes a warranty card and other useful information regarding Lace Music Products.
