I know, it's crazy. I put a David Gilmour DG 20 pickup set in a Squier. It cost more than the guitar. But I love it, and it sounds great. I walk through the installation and write a song with the new sound. Be sure to watch the video so you don't make the same installation mistake I did. Hope you Enjoy.

People absolutely bash EMG’s like mad but you really can’t fault them. Great clear modern sounds and no hassle.

I'm really digging these, and they are perfect for my application. I can get a variety of tones that fit multiple styles.

If the pickguard fitment is an issue for someone they can detach all the EMG stuff from the included pickguard and transfer to their original one. Might help some guys with various year guitars or foreign makes.

Looks and sounds great! You could put a battery holder where the hole is!

I was gifted one of the cheapest 2010 Squires (Strat-pack) you can buy from my brother who got it for himself but then didn’t get time to learn to play (he went for keyboard instead)….it was unplayable when I got it, but I cleaned & treated the maple neck, then had the frets levelled by a luthier who also made & fitted a bone nut, then I put in the DG20 & upgraded the tuners & saddles myself….it plays & sounds amazing now, looks so cool with a black body & pickguard…I’ve clearly spent a fair bit of time & money, but much less than a new MIM player & this thing is now in a different league! Don’t recall having to drill out, though I do remember a couple of the pickguard screws didn’t line up but that was no biggie…and yes, it’s quiet as a mouse with lovely tones (my LP studio is a noisy beast, though I did put SD Slash pups in it after similar TLC)…it just shows, you can turn a cheap guitar into a diamond with a bit of care, so go for it!

I love the modifications! I also got this guitar for Christmas and I haven't put it down and I own a lot of guitars. Definitely becoming a favorite and most likely not going to make any modifications on it. Set up was perfect right out of the box. Also I enjoyed your song a lot and will check it out on Spotify.

It such a cool guitar out of the box. Glad you are enjoying your and glad you liked the song. Thanks.

I put a MojoTone loaded pickguard on a Bullet Strat hardtail. I had the same fitment issue with the scratch plate and the hardtail bridge. Apparently that hardtail bridge is wider than a tremolo bridge. I ground the plastic on the scratch plate at each end of the bridge until it fit.

I figure I'll sand it down with a Dremel eventually.

Cool! I got the same exclusive site Squier, been loving it. Almost considered this set but that seems like a but much work for me. Looks like I'm gonna go with a Seymour Duncan set

Can't go wrong with Duncan! Enjoy!

Black pickguards should be the only color for bright colored guitars.

Agreed!

Bit too late, but you can just poke something through the little holes in the EMG connectors, pop the wires out easily, feed the wires through and reverse the process to refit the connector, no drilling required.

I thought about that, but I was worried I'd mess it up lol

Did anyone else not have any space inside the cavity of the guitar to put the battery? I ended up having to put the battery in the back of the guitar under the bridge plate (?).
