Drop this pickguard into your guitar for instant Hendrix vibe. The Voodoo version features a reverse-angle bridge pickup to really nail his look and sound.
Overview
On a chilly evening in March of 1968, Jimi Hendrix asked a young Seymour W. Duncan to walk his guitar up onstage. That Strat was loaded with pickups Seymour had wound just for Jimi, and that unforgettable night would set in motion Seymour's future -- and his legacy almost five decades later. Now you can be a bit closer to Jimi's world with our Jimi Hendrix Signature Loaded Pickguards.
The Jimi Hendrix Signature Loaded Pickguard (Voodoo Style) houses those pickups in a pre-loaded 3-ply white pickguard with a reverse-angle bridge pickup route.
Like Jimi's music, the Jimi Hendrix Signature Strat Set pickups have their roots in the traditional but with an eye on the future. Each is custom wound for a richer, melodic tone. The bridge model has an aggressive attack that cuts through while staying true to his iconic lead tone. The neck pickup sounds thick and full and is great for chord work, bluesy melodies, double-stops and Jimi's signature hybrid chord/melody style. And in the in-between positions there's plenty of that classic Strat 'quack.'
To help you to get even closer to Jimi's earth-shattering tone, each pickup is made with a reverse magnet stagger to capture the effect of playing a right-handed guitar upside-down and restrung for a lefty.
The 3-ply white Jimi Hendrix Signature Loaded Pickguard features 250K pots, a 5-way pickup selector switch and .047 caps. The pickup covers showcase Jimi's signature. It also comes with a commemorative booklet and stickers.
Please note… read more that the Voodoo style will only fit guitars with either a swimming pool or humbucker route. A standard bridge route version and pickup sets are also available.

Awesome Product... I was looking for new Pickups for my MIM 90's Stratocaster, I had already upgraded the Trem/block and the tuners and the stock pickup were sounding good so I put off upgrading them for a while. When I think of Strat Tone for me it all begins with Jimi Hendrix, weather he played soft and lyrical or tear your head off distortion he brought out the best character of the Stratocaster, I wanted my Strat to sound like that. So I bought it and decided to go with the Loaded Pickguard instead of just the pickups (I figured I wanted all the components to be matched with the pickups and it would also be easier to install) and it arrived in a couple of days,
Installation was easy if you know how to solder (if you don't take it to a pro or a guitar shop should do it for $50 or less, it really is very basic and took me about 10 minutes) Once I plugged it into my Fender amp I was Loving the sounds! I can go on and on about how every pickup sounds but its definitely Hendrix and Much More.. I'm getting all the classic Strat sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan,Jeff Beck,Eric Clapton,David Gilmour. Sounds great playing Blues, Rock, Funk Etc.. and after a month with it I can Honestly say met my expectations and I'm having Tons of fun with my Hendrix LP/Strat.
I originally was going to buy the Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster, but after trying it out in a local Guitar shop, I was not convinced to be fair the guitar was probably not set up correctly and I was not in the best sound…

setting environment, but the sound and feel was not what I expected and not anywhere as good as the Seymour Duncan Hendrix Loaded Pickguard.
I usually am weary of celebrity endorsement products, they are more Hype than Product. While I feel I payed a Premium for the Hendrix name, I got Exactly what I was looking for in Sound and Quality. The Story of Duncan giving Hendrix the Pickups and his meticulous notes he took to preserve and then recreate this Hendrix Loaded Pickguard enhances the experience of using them and anyone will be more than happy to play on them.
