Hooking up your JJ's Loaded Pickguard
Your loaded Pickguard may come with three wires to solder into your guitar. (If you have existing wiring, we don't add these lead wires)
1 - White, this is the “Hot” wire. It comes from the middle lug on the volume pot and is terminated on the “tip” terminal of the 1⁄4” jack in your guitar
2 - Black, this is the “Ground” wire. It comes from the rear of the volume pot and is terminated on the “sleeve” terminal of the 1⁄4” jack in your guitar.
3 - Another Black, also a “Ground” wire. It also comes from the rear of the volume pot and goes through the guitar body and hooks onto your tremolo claw. This wire is called the “string ground”. (your guitar may also have a ground lug, solder this to the rear of the volume pot also)
If you have any problems, head into email for assistance. We will be happy to talk you through the process and get you Rockin’ in no time!

JJ’s Loaded Pickguard pricing
Here we will give you some insight into how we price up our loaded pickguard assemblies. (Example SSS, standard wiring)
We’ve surveyed online retail prices on equivalent, high-quality parts that we use and have made this comparison table. For a high quality, drop-in replacement unit that’s wired up, tested and warrantied, we think our pickguards are a good deal.
Loaded pickguards are available for purchase with your set of JJ's Guitar Pickups.
Prices listed here are in addition to pickup sets.
Pickguard assemblies and parts are not sold separately.
