Best on a new build
This pickguard has a very good finish. It's ever-so-slightly off in shape and mounting hole position from a standard Fender guard. This is no problem at all with a fresh body for a new build. When replacing an existing pickguard, some amount of plugging old holes and redrilling new will be required. I spent a few minutes doing just that and got a pleasing result.

Great value and quality!
3 of 3 found this helpful I've just ordered my second of these necks and will certainly order more in the future. It arrived as rapidly as you'd expect from Asia. The neck was well-packaged and showed zero damage.
These less expensive necks are a crapshoot. Expect to do some amount of fretwork. In this case, I was massively lucky. After I'd strung up the guitar, I checked the relief at the 8th fret and was pleased that it measured 12 thousandths, right where I like it. I set each string's height to 4/64 from the 12th fret. Here's where it gets good: every single fret worked with no buzzing or choking, so no fret level was needed -- just a bit of a polish. As with most new necks, you'll need a decent Tusq or bone nut. The included nut is merely a plastic placeholder. It'll work, but you won't be happy.

Best pickup value on the Interwebs
6 of 6 found this helpful I've installed these in a couple of different guitars now. I enjoy them so much that I've just ordered three more for future projects. They sound quite smooth and viscous with the guitar volume at 3. When you crank the knob higher, they absolutely rip. You can coil split them if you like. Four bucks and change each? It's a no-brainer. Frankly, I can't hear much difference between these and the $100 SD version.
