There are three wires coming from the output jack, and one wire coming from the bridge ground. Star ground together all the grounds, hook the output from the main pot to the output hot lead, the battery lead coming from the output jack to the battery 's positive terminal, and you should be good to go!

Why doesn't it fit? Are you trying to install a 21 fret pickguard on a 22 fret neck guitar? Is the neck cutout too small for the neck butt? I'd need more info in order to help you out ... thanks for writing though ... Will

Three sets of pickups? Or, three pickups. Either way, go to mojotone.com for answers ...

i have a floyd rose on my stratocaster so will i still be able to replace my pickguard with a standerd stratocaster prewired pickguard?

[535C3]

Yes, but you may have to trim the guard a little bit around the bridge cutout, if the mounting screws are different. Go slow, cut conservatively and it should be fine

Did'nt quite get how to solder the wire to the output jack. Looks like one black wire. Do you splice it? If so, which one goes to the ground? Thanks, Ron

Okay, so I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but I took the stock pickguard and pickups out of my Strat and am trying to replace it with a prewired Lace Sensor pickguard. I'm not sure how exactly I'm supposed to solder it on because there are no free wires. Maybe I'm just dumb, but there's no harm in asking, right?

Hey, on mojo's website there are only pickguard assemblys that do not include pickups??

Can you tell me why you switch the pickgaurds? And not just take the old out and stick the new in and wire the jack up?
