Seymour Duncan Pickgrd Assy, Dave Murray, Pearloid Pickup

This Dave Murray signature pickguard assembly delivers the aggressive, high-output tone ideal for recording hard-rock and metal productions. The pearloid finish combines visual appeal with a pre-loaded pickup configuration that captures punchy, articulate aggression without requiring modification or component sourcing. Built by Seymour Duncan in Santa Barbara, this assembly provides a complete, tested solution for producers and engineers seeking proven high-gain character ready to drop into post-1964 Stratocasters.

Pickup Configuration & Tone

Hot Rails pickups in the neck and bridge positions deliver tight, compressed high-output character with minimal noise—essential for clean signal-to-interface and layering in dense mixes. The JB Jr. middle pickup provides a brighter, more articulate voice for single-coil textures and rhythm details. All pickups feature 4-conductor splittable lead wire and vacuum wax potting, enabling coil-splitting mods during post-production and ensuring microphony rejection during tracking and overdubs.

Build Quality & Studio Integration

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 across tracking sessions. Hand assembly in Santa Barbara ensures attention to detail and quality control, and installation instructions are included to streamline the setup process before recording.
