PRE WIRED STRAT DIE CUT ALUMINIUM SHIELD
WITH 0.047 OR 0.022 ORANGE DROP CAPACITOR
WITH OR WITHOUT BLEND CONTROL
BUY ANY LINDY FRALIN PICKUPS FROM US AND WE WILL FIT THEM FREE
We have pre wired the Full Aluminium Die Cut Shield with all of the best components including:
- Vintage Cloth wire.
- Orange Drop Capacitor 0.047 for the classic tone control and 0.022 for a wider more gradual tone control, good for darker sounding pickups. The Tone is the same it is just the effect is more gradual.
- Switchcraft Socket.
- CRL 5 way switch.
- CTS TVT 250K Pots where we hand select the highest value for the volume control.
- Bridge Tone mod is also included, if you do not want it please let us know with your order.
- Blender Pot option.
- If you buy any set of Lindy Fralin pickups from us and we will fit them as well.
We have included the wires to the supplied Swichcraft socket and the earth lead to the tremolo claw and as it is all on a full Aluminium Shield there is no need for an earth wire between the pots.
The Shield is drilled with slightly over sized holes to fit virtually all Strat 8 and 11 hole pickguards, all you need to do is place the kit onto your pick guard, connect your pickups, the socket and earth lead.
Blend Pot Option:
The Blend control replaces the bridge tone control and so the guitar has a Volume, Master Tone and Blend control. With the Blend on 10 everything operates in the normal Strat way. When the selector switch is in position 1 and 5 and the Blend is on 0 the neck and bridge pick-ups are connected so you get that TELECASTER sound.
In position 5 (Neck) when you turn down the blend you gradually bring in the bridge and in position 1 (Bridge) you gradually bring in the neck so they actually sound different. In position 2 and 4 you can blend in the middle pick up so you have all 3 but as before the two positions sound different. In position 3 only the middle pick up is selected as normal.
In addition because its a pot and not a switch as you turn the Blend Control down the other pickups come in gradually so you can add a little BITE to the neck pickup or take the edge off the Bridge pickup. In addition this is a true no load pot.

Many thanks to all those who have bought this and left good feedback. I only got into this after trying to find the same for my various guitars without success and thought it would be cool to offer it to others.
