DiMarzio Area Strat Replacement Pickguard

The DiMarzio Area Strat Replacement Pickguard features solderless connectors designed for straightforward drop-in installation into electric guitars compatible with a standard 11-hole pickguard layout. It comes pre-wired with an Area 58 neck pickup, Area 67 middle pickup, and Area 61 bridge pickup combination to provide classic vintage single-coil tone without standard 60-cycle hum.
The Area 58 in the neck position delivers articulate treble response, dynamic sensitivity, and warm woody voicing reminiscent of late-50s single-coils. Complementing the set, the middle Area 67 yields clean, bright 1960s tone with reduced magnet pull for improved sustain and enhanced quack in positions 2 and 4.
Positioned at the bridge, the Area 61 delivers steely yet warm character with full hum-canceling performance. Together, these pickups offer balanced output, reduced string pull, and pure vintage Stratocaster voicings with modern noise-free operation.
