Solderless or Solder-in: This prewired pickguard comes standard as solderless – connect wires from your output jack and trem claw to a blue screw terminal with a screwdriver.

Instructions for installation will be included or you can search Valley Sound Prewired Pickguard Installation on Youtube

PLEASE NOTE: This pickguard is the exact layout and spec as USA/MEX Strat, it will fit Squier too, though sometimes the screw holes won’t line up 100 percent and you must make new ones. It may fit other guitars with some retrofitting, but we can not guarantee this since there are too many variations of the Strat. Also take note that the switch is larger than the cheaper import switch which may require some extra routing to your body where the switch goes depending on your routing depth (35mm is required) some guitars like Bullet and Affinity Squier have very shallow routing.  By purchasing this prewired pickguard we will assume you have removed your current pickguard and checked your routing cavity and we will also assume you are willing to make some modifications if your guitar does not have the same mounting layout as standard USA/MEX Fender.
