Seymour Duncan Pickgrd Assy, Dave Murray, Pearloid Pickup
This Dave Murray signature pickguard assembly is a stage-ready, high-output solution for Strat players who want proven tone without sourcing parts. The pearloid finish stands out under lights, while the pre-loaded pickup configuration delivers the aggressive character that cut through on arena stages. Built by Seymour Duncan in Santa Barbara, this assembly arrives tested and ready to drop into your instrument—no hunting for matching components, no wiring headaches.
Pickup Configuration & Tone
Hot Rails pickups in the neck and bridge positions pack tight, high-output response with rejection against hum and feedback, while the JB Jr. middle pickup stays articulate for cleaner passages and single-coil voicings. All pickups feature 4-conductor splittable lead wire and vacuum wax potting, so you can coil-split for tonal flexibility and count on rock-solid performance in high-gain live rigs where microphony and feedback kill takes.
Build Quality & Installation
The assembly fits the 11-hole 'USA' pickguard pattern standard to post-1964 Stratocasters and pairs with high-quality Bourns potentiometers and a 5-way pickup selector for reliable, consistent operation night after night. Hand assembly in Santa Barbara ensures attention to detail, and installation instructions are included to guide the setup process.

What Stratocaster models does this fit?
This assembly fits the 11-hole USA pickguard pattern standard to post-1964 Stratocasters. If your guitar uses that standard configuration, installation should be straightforward with the included instructions.
Can I split the coils on these pickups?
Yes—all three pickups feature 4-conductor splittable lead wire, enabling coil-splitting modifications for additional tonal variety and single-coil sounds when wired to a push-pull pot or switch.
What hardware is included?
The assembly comes complete with Bourns volume and tone potentiometers, a 5-way pickup selector switch, and all pickups pre-wired and tested. Installation instructions and personalized special stickers are also included.
Why vacuum wax potting on these pickups?
