Fender Stratocaster Pickguard (3 Single-Coil, 11 hole, 3-ply) White vs Wilkinson M Series Alnico 5 P90 Soapbar Neck/Bridge Set
Overall winner: Fender Stratocaster Pickguard (3 Single-Coil, 11 hole, 3-ply) White
Key Differences
Fender's pickguard is a three-ply, 11-hole component designed for Stratocaster fit and often chosen for cosmetic and fit versatility across Strat models, while the Musiclily set is a Wilkinson M Series Alnico 5 P90 soapbar neck/bridge pickup pair focused on tone (potted wax, low hum) with mixed reports on output level. Choose the Fender pickguard if you need a multi-hole, cosmetic/fit replacement for Strat-style guitars; choose the Musiclily P90 set if you want a neck+bridge pickup pair emphasizing P90 tone and reduced hum
