Can’t beat for the price
Have a Mexican Strat and was looking to swap pickup. This fit perfectly with no trimming needed for mine. Just need to solder up the jack plug and additional ground. Works good and sounds better than expected for the price. Didn’t even take off strings to do it. Loosened them, was able to slide out old pick guard. I did copper wrap the inside cavities, then put in the new guard. Works great, looks great, sounds great all for under $50.

Very good quality and sound
I got this to install on a cheap old strat-style guitar that I’ve had for years. I was very impressed with the quality and care of the wiring and soldering on the pickups. I just soldered this in to the existing input on my guitar and it was ready to go. The single coils give you the classic “strat” tone, and the humbucker is way hotter than I expected. It has similar output to a duncan distortion. I am consistently surprised with how versatile this is. Play shine on you crazy diamond on the neck pu then switch to the bridge to play war pigs. For the price you can’t beat it. Overall this is a great option to rejuvenate an old guitar.

Good for the price
For the price it is very good, the electronics are cheap, but that s what you pay. Pickups are really alnico. I ended up using only the pickups because the pickguard screws alignament doesn’t match the Squier’s one

My guitar had Mexican pickups, I like the sound of both honestly, both good. Well worth the price.
If your holes don't line up, line up what will, make sure that you don't have any half holes that need filled first, then use a spring loaded center punch to mark the location, right through the hole in the pick guard. then drilled a pilot, and final hole with it installed, the punch keeps the first hole dead center. So don't worry if a few holes don't line up, really not an issue, it's easy. Get decent tools. Don't follow the YouTube guitar tradition of "whatever is around" for tools. If you are doing a project, it's worth doing right. The, I worked with what I have excuse for sloppy work is cringe, just don't.

Good sound, doesnt fit
Pickups have a great classic stratocaster sound, but the pickguard did not line up with the neck or screw holes, requiring trimming, couldnt get it to fit so I used an old pickguard, but the sound is great.

Good upgrade
I purchased this to Mod my recently purchased Squier Debut Stratocaster. The fit was a bit snug and one of the screw holes did not line up exactly but aside from that it was an easy install and the sound/tone, etc. is far better than the what came stock on the Strat. Overall a good inexpensive upgrade.

Excellent, especially for the price
This is the first "budget knockoff" pickguard that fits! ALL ELEVEN SCREWS matched the standard Fender/Squier hole positions - I didn't have to move ANY factory holes. They all matched - I have it on a standard MIC Squier SE Strat. I did have to shape the neck heel area, as it hung over too far to put the neck on. This was no big deal, and took a minute with a Dremel. Pots are small import size, but work very smoothly, and are silent. Bottom tone is on the middle pickup like stock Strat wiring, and I will move it to the bridge. Switch is the PCB import style, but is quiet and works well so far. Pickups are decent, with the high point being the bridge humbucker, which is nice and fat. The single coils do the Strat thing and are good, but are nothing super special and won't be confused for brand name aftermarket or USA Fender pickups...but for the price? Great!

Great value for the price
This is my second one. The first one I returned because It did not fit my then Indio strat. I got the second one for my Squier Affinity 2021 and it fit like a glove. I also like the look and sound it produces. You cannot go wrong with this pickguard. The only issue I had was the first tone control was not changing the tone on the bridge pickup so I added a small jumper between pin 2 and 3 on the 5 way switch and it did the trick. Very happy with it.
