Musiclily Pro Pre-wired Standard HSS Pickguard with Artec Pickups Alnico 5 Magnet for ST Style Electric Guitar

Bought two returned one didn't work at all.. had to replace the 5 way switch on the other...musiclily needs to address this

Absolutely terrible..I installed this amd it was the worse 60cycle hum ...and the humbucker was also humming...terrible investment...now im stuck with it and wasted $100..

It has a bad solder connection on one wire. Once I fixed that, it worked great. Nice tone, good quality, easy to install. Great value when compared to Fender.

Quality assembly and components are readily evident with the obvious extra care. First off, the switches and wiring is laid out precisely, dropping in perfectly to a standard Fender-route body. Little things make a big difference - like ground shielding under the pickguard, laying out the wiring to fit the standard cavity, old-style 5-way switch with larger contact points, correct 250 K pots, Orange drop capacitors and upgrade treble bleed mod. When the Humbucker is selected, it's a straight signal without any tone control. The 3-ply pick guard is clean and precise and gorgeous. I chose the tortoise shell and love it. I like the ivory knobs but the white and black knobs are also included.The sound and balance between pickups is sweet. I am sold on this upgrade and do not hesitate recommending it to my friends.

This is a pretty good set of drop-in pick ups. However, for the price, I’m very disappointed by the humbucker. I was hoping for a good sounding humbucker with cutting high end and full upper mids. However, the humbucker just sounds a bit woofy with not much clarity and too much low-mids. When pairing it with the middle single coil pickup, it still sounds muddy. I’m tempted to replace the pots with 1M to see if that would help add some high-end to the humbucker but that would probably make the single coil pickups sound too bright. I will need to experiment with the tone circuit and see what combination of pot value and capacitor would work well. I’ll update this review with my findings.While I’m disappointed by how the humbucker sounds, this is not a bad set to have if you need a drop-in set for you guitar build or for repair. Though I would not consider this set as an “upgrade” from anything you would find in import guitars these days. If this is a right price for you and you just need something to complete your guitar build, this is not a bad set to get.
