Review: Tremendous upgrade - Wow! For years I liked and was ok with my Fender "Fat Strat". I'm never ok with factory pickups and always swap them out (usually Seymour Duncan pickups) but the Fender "humbuckers" were, meh, ok for what I do. I've had this Fat Strat for years and tolerated the factory PUs but they were lacking. Decent crunch and could get ok Les Paul and Strat tones. Not great, but ok... the whole jack of all trades, master of none thing. Anyway, I saw a YouTube of Dan Huff recently and his tone with the Humbucker in the bridge and single coils mid and neck. Thought about doing something similar. I found this, pre-wired setup - by Steve Lukather, an absolute guitar hero of mine, and it got me thinking. Did my research and went with this and the EMGs over swapping everything out as I was thinking of doing. Wow! WOW! The tone through my Line 6 amp live and through a board is WOW amazing. Do I have the chime, twang and tingling of a Strat? Very very close - much closer than with the factory PUs. The Strat tone is definitely there. Put on a little chorus, delay and some gain. WOW. This setup is amazing. Do I have the tone and crunch of a Les Paul? No. But, a Les Paul is a Les Paul and that is what is needed, IMHO, to sound like a Les Paul. But, I have better bottom and fullness in the bridge and neck PUs for incredible, full crunch. Amazing crunch through the Line 6. There is a lot of sizzle in this setup. It is all I need for what I do. Assembly was a breeze. I was able to swap out without removing my strings. Just loosened up a lot and was able to remove the old assembly and put this one on - but note I usually have about 4 turns on the pegs. No soldering, which I was skeptical of, just snap in the connectors and done. No soldering at all. Again, assembly was easy as could be. The only thing was my cable plug has to be in a specific position to fully insert my cable; the terminals have to be towards the back of the body. That is it. I highly highly recommend this setup. Especially for any Fat Strats. It is amazing. Review: Sounds Fantastic! Great upgrade! - I have a Travelcaster guitar (a strat travel guitar) that I love. It had 3 single coils and a 5 way switch. It sounded great, but was noisy, and I couldn't get a great distortion sound from the single coils. I considered a number of solutions, but got this because I could install it myself, and I have used EMG pickups in the past and really liked them. It took me about an hour to install the whole thing. I had to make new holes for all of the pickguard screws, but that was very easy. It was truly plug-n-play. This configuration is SSH with the H being in the bridge position, right where you want it for a good distortion sound. I play a wide variety of rock music using very clean to very grungy distortion sounds. This thing is fantastic. Oddly enough, the middle single coil with distortion on it sounds REALLY good. I am getting zero hum out of this thing. The single coils are completely quiet even with really high gain. This is huge, because I really like the sound of the middle single coil with distortion, and the old pickups were just so noisy it was almost unusable. Dead quiet now all else the same. Each of the settings with the switch provides a different tone, and they are all super useful for different songs to get a different tone. I chose to mount the battery externally on the back of the guitar with velcro. I didn't even try to put it inside, because I use a wireless velcroed to the back so there is a hump there anyway. When I need to recharge that battery, I can just pop it off and top it off. The guitar pictured had the 1/4 jack on the back but that didn't work for me, so I cut a hole and moved it to the bottom of the guitar, running the wires for the 9v through the hole. I think it would have fit inside, I didn't even try. The only downside to this that I can see is that I thought $300 is pretty pricy for pickups. The Travelcaster cost the same amount as this pickguard with pickups. I justified paying the high price because of the ease of installation. EVERYTHING was pre-wired and good-to-go. No soldering. It was super easy. I really liked the feel of the neck, the size, and everything else about the guitar. Now I absolutely LOVE the tone I am getting from it. ## Features - Pro Series custom design - Custom 11-hole white pearl pickguard with white knobs - Utilizes Alnico loaded single-coil pickups, Guitar Expander, and presence control - Increased treble and bass frequencies and enhanced earthiness and mid-range - Complete and ready to mount to your guitar ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000RVYV20 | | Back Material Type | Mahogany Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,368 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #413 in Electric Guitar Pick Guards | | Body Material | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | EMG | | Brand Name | EMG | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 237 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00654330215353, 00654330300011 | | Guitar Bridge System | Adjustable | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | S-S-S | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Item Dimensions | 12.5 x 10 x 2.38 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.5"L x 10"W x 2.38"H | | Item Type Name | Pickguard - White Pearl | | Item Weight | 1.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | EMG Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | EM943550 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | DG20 Pre-Wired | | Model Number | EMG DG20 | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 25.5 Inches | | String Material Type | Nickel | | String Nut Width | 1.65 Inches | | Top Material Type | Plastic | | UPC | 654330215353 654330300011 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Two years from date of purchase, parts and labor. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** EMG - **Color:** White - **Top Material Type:** Plastic - **Body Material:** Mahogany - **Back Material Type:** Mahogany Wood - **Neck Material Type:** Maple - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** S-S-S - **String Material Type:** Nickel - **Hand Orientation:** Right ## Images ![EMG DG20 Pre-Wired Pickguard - White Pearl - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PlJlBbATL.jpg) ![EMG DG20 Pre-Wired Pickguard - White Pearl - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41tNfE4Ie9L.jpg) ![EMG DG20 Pre-Wired Pickguard - White Pearl - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511vB7s9NsL.jpg) ![EMG DG20 Pre-Wired Pickguard - White Pearl - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RlidCEEPL.jpg) ![EMG DG20 Pre-Wired Pickguard - White Pearl - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vkPi9W-hL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it difficult to switch the pickguard for this set. I am not a big fan of the pearl white.** A: Extremely easy to switch the pick guard and new equipment. Also, I believe order in black with white or black EMGs ... You will not be disappointed with DG20 - excellent product and upgrade to your guitar. **Q: Will this product fit on a Squier Affinity Strat ?** A: I just had it put on an Affinity. It fit fine, and it sounds unbelievable. **Q: Where does the power source pack go?** A: In a typical Strat there is room in the control cavity just under the pots (where the knobs are). It fits there quite well. It uses a 9V battery, not a "power pack". **Q: Hola incluye los mics todo el cableado y el pick guard????** A: Incluye todo excepto la baterías para las cápsulas, todo lo demás viene incluido. Me salió super bueno el sistema gilmour, 100% recomendable ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tremendous upgrade *by E***2 on June 2, 2026* Wow! For years I liked and was ok with my Fender "Fat Strat".

It came from the factory with a trio of Fender Lace Gold Sensor pickups. While I liked the fundamental tone and voice of these stock Lace units, they were incredibly noisy. I know single coil pickups are normally not as quiet as hum-buckers but the sizzle, hiss, and spit I was getting was unbearable. I got headaches while practicing to the point I just stopped playing this guitar. I researched on how to fix this issue. I found some internet resources that advised adding metal foil shielding inside the guitar. When I opened my Strat up, I discovered a lot of shielding had already been applied at the factory. In addition, everything was also properly grounded. But, there was still too much pickup noise. So I was intrigued at this set from EMG that promised good tone and low noise. They come pre-wired and ready to drop in with zero soldering required. The installation how-to video on EMG's site ([...]) was especially helpful. I am extremely pleased with the results. The EMGs are REALLY quiet and have a wonderful tone. OK, I don't sound like David Gilmour but it's going to take more than a pickup upgrade to make that happen. While practicing last night, even my wife commented "Wow, that guitar sure does sound nice." That's something I never thought I'd hear anyone say about my Strat. Pros === QUIET - This was my number one requirement and it has been met. Excellent Tone. Evaluated with Peavey Classic 50 head amp and Peavey Classic 410E 4x10 open back cabinet. (FYI, this is incredibly subjective. Don't assume you'll like the tone and voice just because I did. You really have to try them in your guitar, your amp, while you are playing. This is obvious to most of you but I get a lot friends who ask for blanket recommendations and IMHO, tone is too subjective and too dependent on associated gear). Very easy installation - you'll need a phillips screwdriver and wire cutters. Attractive pick guard (I've read a lot of reviews call it ugly so YMMV) Cons === Expensive - One could easily make the argument that it might be wiser to sell a guitar you don't like playing and buy another rather than dropping this much cash on an upgrade. For me, the pickup noise was the only thing that I didn't like about my guitar, so this made sense. 9V Battery Required - These are active pickups and therefore require a battery. I'm not a gigging musician and I own other guitars so this is a non-issue for me. Also, you have to remove 4 screws from the pick guard to be able get at the battery. If you are a frequent performer without a guitar tech, I can see how this can be a deal breaker. ## Frequently Bought Together - EMG DG20 Pre-Wired Pickguard-White Pearl - Fender Electric Guitar Part Stratocaster Jack Ferrule - Chrome - Fender Locking Tuners Stratocaster Guitar Tuners, Polished Chrome, for Right-Handed Guitar, 1.7x10x4.5 Inches, Set of 6 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/7693994-emg-dg20-pre-wired-pickguard-white-pearl](https://www.desertcart.co/products/7693994-emg-dg20-pre-wired-pickguard-white-pearl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
