WAITLIST - Loaded Strat Guard - Tiger Wiring
This is the waitlist for loaded pickguards. Each guard is open to customization, but the overall build follows Jerry’s Tiger wiring. If you require a simpler build, please use the waitlist that fits your schematic style the best. You are responsible for ensuring there is room for a battery, buffer, and pickups, and pickguard fit in your particular strat setup. Each pickguard is shipped with a video of the pickguard being tested and functioning prior to shipping, and you are responsible for the rest. For this reason, loaded pickguards are sold as-is and cannot be returned. I test all guards on a standard stratocaster body for fit and function. The guard is pre-wired, but soldering the OBEL jack plate, buffer, and 9V harness, at a minimum, will be required for successful installation on your instrument. I will provide clear instructions on where to connect wires that will need to be connected.
I use:
Mil-spec pots
Orange drop capacitors
Waldotronics buffers
Pre-Wired OBEL plate for easy installation
Alligator-style split pickguard (upon request) for easy electronics access

Pickguard color
