DiMarzio Richie Kotzen Strat Pickguard
Designed to replicate the electronics configuration of Richie Kotzen's signature Fender Japan Stratocaster models, this loaded assembly delivers dynamic versatility across rock, blues, jazz, and fusion styles. Equipped with solderless connectors, it allows for seamless installation onto any electric guitar compatible with a standard 11-hole pickguard pattern.
The pre-wired setup features a 5-way selector switch controlling custom-voiced single-coil-style pickups that operate in hum-canceling mode in positions 2 and 4. A reverse-magnet center pickup preserves signature articulate Stratocaster clarity while eliminating unwanted hum in combined settings.
Engineered with medium-gain output and Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups maintain distinct note separation and punchy, percussive dynamics even under heavy distortion. The assembly is finished with white pickups mounted on a Pearl White pickguard.
