Geartour - Fender Strat (customized)

[Exitwound72]

My strat has three single coils but space for a hum in the bridge in case you want to upgrade (Mexican standard as well)

[misterguitarraman]

did you have to route out the space for the humbucker? or did you guitar already have a humbucker? im buying a mim strat but it has 3 single coils

[nirvanafoo98]

WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE OTHER TONE KNOB SINCE THERE IS ONLY 2 ON HERE???

[sk8theimpossible]

i am highly considering getting this....is Sodering required for this?

[vedersbyrd]

hei,please make a video with the sound of it. it would help a lot because i want to buy that pickguard too and my strat is similar to yours...ok..mine is a hohner not a fender.there is any significant change in sound?are they good for metal?...thanks!

[Depthsreflection]

Hey does the KH20 comes with new pickguard screws? because mine are all rusted so i was wondering if i would have to buy some new screws.

[richogem]

this is 21 frets. and you should get a super-vee or a floyd rose.

[ben10sk8r]

hey quick question would this fit on a squire? and i know squires have one or two less mounting holes for the pickguard but do you think that would be a problem?

[ben10sk8r]

hey quick question would this fit on a squire?

[Jeepjones85]

I would like this on my guitar I have a strat it's a power house model so I already have a spot for the batt great video

[freddydario]

Hi man, Saludos from south america, ecuador, i have a question, i´m really interested to buy this pickguard, but i would like that you tell me how sound this in clean withwout any distortion...? thnks for your answer...

[theunforgivenone100]

Where did you put the battery for the pickups

[ggutierritos9]

did you have to conect anything?

[TaylorGilmour]

Im gonna get this Pickguard and Put it on My japanese strat, I cant Wait to Hear how it sounds

[BIGxGAYxBUBBA]

what color is the guitar?

[BIGxGAYxBUBBA]

is that olympic white?

[rocknrolla12992]

so, could u put this or the hh configuration over top of a strat routed for sss?

[2346]

the single coils are passive but I have a question did u have to solder the output jack or you slide it through the hole then just screw it on

[clanstead]

@2346 no soldering, just slots in place lol

[2346]

so for the pickup selector toggle or standard 3 switch u just connect u don't solder?

[clanstead]

@2346 no you don't connect anything but the active output jack and the battery. everything else is done.

[joelg125]

so i've just ordered the "Area" prewired pickguard . .. i've never soldered before but i just bought a soldering iron kit from Radio Shack. i'm going for it? how hard do you think it will be to solder 3 wires? i assume it's 1 ground wire soldered to spring area and 2 wires to the input jack right?

[Jahusa1234]

really nice bro!!!

does this actually fit on a fender Squier?

really nice guitar!!!

[clanstead]

@Jahusa1234 Should do, I had to cut some of my cavity, and sandpaper it a little but yeah it should fit.

[lightspd714]

so glad you posted this! I have the exact same strat and i was contemplating putting emgs in but i was thinking that will look like shit. Now that i see how badass it looks i think i will

[NazoFire]

So, where does the battery go? They give you the active jack for the 9v right? So, where does it go? Because if you have to remove the pickguard to change the battery, that'll be really annoying unless the battery lasts a LONG time.

[JC651V]

when you do this you have to make a new hole in the back and put a battery chamber in the back for a 9 volt plus the battery lasts 3000 hours so...

[clanstead]

@NazoFire I stouck my battery in the tremelo cavity.

[clanstead]

@NazoFire I stuck my battery in the tremelo cavity.

[guitaristhayden23]

how do i tell if my strat is a pre wired or not and - can i put an humbucker where a single coil goes on a fender squire strat.? ( i know quite a bit about guitars but not these particular things cause i usually dont customize my own. ) thanks - hayden

[JC651V]

on squiers and fenders there is usually a humbucker route in the bridge sometimes the neck too its only on older models or reissues of older models i think fender doesn't make the humbucker route

[clanstead]

@guitaristhayden23 You might need to get different potentiometers. I'm not entirely sure.

[mrnice5916]

was it an HSS before or was it SSS

[beetlemaster07]

is there one solder point or two for the output jack?

[HarrisonxThexManx]

theres 3 for active pick ups lol

[xxmatt95xx]

where does the battery for the emg's go?

[skatekid032]

this would be sick with gold hardware

[reddracken]

WE WANT SOUND CLIPS! WE WANT SOUND CLIPS! omg that is one nice strat! always wanted to hear a fender strat with a emg81!

[MrVerius]

Man...i'm not being a dick but you got a ton of gear for someone that old. That's pretty sweet. Hopefully your working for it all but if your folks are buying it all you should kiss their ass for the rest of your life!!!

[jcallseven]

looks nice

[ItsGoofyMike]

wow, ive never seen someone do that to a strat, although i dont usually look for strats. anyways nice job, looks beautiful

[HarvesterBob]

yeah upload a vid with it! :P

[thecagejackson]

when are you gonna make that video?

cant wait to hear it

[BlackTide617]

Hi, this question might sound ignorant so please forgive me. I'm planning on putting this on my Squire Strat, the EMG site says that this is ready to mount on the guitar. Does this include the input jack or do you need to solder the pickguard to the input jack?

[COBHateCrewFinland]

You de-solder the ground wire, and the old input jack, and out on the pickgurad, and solder the input jack that comes with it.

[clanstead]

@COBHateCrewFinland You don't solder anything with this set, they slot in lol.

[KoralieMegan]

@BlackTide617 emg kit is for around 350$, you can own a Godin or Jackson for 700 with 2 emg+your tele....

[nblax41]

scallop that bastard, and get a tube amp

[COBHateCrewFinland]

That'd be sick

[almor619]

@COBHateCrewFinland dont scallop, i scalloped mine and i hate it ....or .... I HATE IT ... try it first ... i hate it so much that im going to buy a new neck XD .... but those pickups and a tube amp ... yh .... existencial !

[lewislikesfood]

hey dude, erm what about the 9volt battery actives need?

what happens about that?

w/b please:)

lewis

[joe20467]

hey umm my friend gave me his old squire guitar and well i want to put this same set in mine, umm you say its active so doe that mean i have to make a mod in my guitar or can i just install it?

[pepsicolaman1]

hey did ur strat originally have 3 single coils cuz mine does n i wanna know if this will fit.

[COBHateCrewFinland]

Yeah, it did

[pepsicolaman1]

so it will fit?

[COBHateCrewFinland]

Yeah, it should

[COBHateCrewFinland]

Different tunings and what not lol.

[ktxdgqtx]

When it comes time to replace the battery, do you have to take off the pickguard and change it, or did you do some kind of mod on the back to change it easier?

[COBHateCrewFinland]

I have to take it off, I could've done that, and yeah it would've been easier, but I was to lazy lol.

[HarvesterBob]

one question too. Is that the mexican standard 2009?

[COBHateCrewFinland]

No, the 2008

[HarvesterBob]

okay, thanks!

[HarvesterBob]

Looks nice!! I want to make one of theese now :D
