Any colour really, just let me know if you have something. Im thinking of changing the bridge pickup in my hss mex standard to a covered one but the fender screw arrangement is a bit wonky, would prefer to have an aftermarket one with more standardised mounting if possible.

    I shall skip my usual, tedious questions about the bridge saddle spacing and the body colour of your guitar.

    I have an off-white HSH 'guard with square-cut humbucker apertures and conventionally positioned height adjustment screw holes. (Need to check the brand.)

    I also have a couple of genuine Fender HSS 'guards but the humbucker aperture corners are rounded to suit uncovered pickups.

    If I knew your budget, I could probably devise a complete assembly.


    Be seeing you.

    Its artic white so i think most colours should look decent. Wasn't really looking to spend more than £50 all in for everything, not sure if that realistic so let me know

    I have a HSH pickguard, harness and neck pickup for sale. Can do all or part.

    The whole lot would be more than £50, but I could do the pickguard and harness for £50 posted.

    For that sum, your best bet is to modify your existing pickguard and, then, concentrate the funds on one pre-owned humbucker.

    IMO, a professional quality replacement pickguard, pickups and controls assembly is likely to set you back at least two hundred quid.

    Ultra-budget single coil pickups will be no better than your stock "import" Fender ones. 
    Be seeing you.

    @Funkfingers is spot on, £50 will get you a quality used humbucker that you can easily fit yourself.
    The MiM pickups are good and hardware are plenty good enough to enjoy
