Designed to be sonically harmonious
Not all wiring configuration should be done, even though the can be. Dead Spots and thin sounds are annoying. Treble boosts don’t always match the pickups. Not all pickups play well with each other. We take all of this into account when our pickguards are designed! We also consider how one switch interacts with another one. Make it easy, make it fun, make it a sonic paradise!
Power at the source
Enjoy the power of tone controlled right from your Strat!
There’s nothing cooler than being able to make the your strat give you both that serene crisp Strat sound and turn into a beautful full HSH power house on the flick of a switch, or the get down and spanky with your other switch. Our designs don’t overload you with controls, it give you easy to use sound switching that shines in LIVE and RECORDING situations. Take control of your sound at the source!

History
From the Pacific Northwest, to Santa Barbara, to Florida
After being a “working musician” Bruce went into Electrical Engineering, Graduated, then start souping up his Stratocasters. Things really took off when Bruce started giving out his designs to his player friends and very quickly it evolved into his business which became Gombrelli Guitars USA. The goal always was to create top shelf quality Hot Wired Stratocaster Pickguards with unique and very creative designs. Made for the player and working musicians, and NOT created to see how many switches you could stick on your guitar. Instead, the goal was how well the switches worked and how they are an easy to use sonic landscape of sound!

This guy’s got the goods!! Prior to making a purchase I read his website and verified his statements and suggestions. I wasn’t looking for loud but quality that I can let the Little Walter Amp embellish. I found something close and sought Bruce’s input. Based on his answer we decided to swap out a capacitor and change the wiring. The change was made and sent out the next day. Read “QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE” The tone is exceptional. You can pay more money … but you can’t buy better quality. Thanks
STILL MORE REVIEWS!Fantastic
Fantastic upgrade with many tone options. Second one with an different pickup configuration than the first. Two winners with great sounds from each. Likely will upgrade several others in time. Not sure why major manufacturers don’t mimic these designs. Support this shop. Great communication and custom goodness

OMG THIS IS AN INSANE UPGRADE! WORTH 10X THE COST! THANK YOU!
WHERE AND HOW TO PURCHASEBRUCE SPEAKS!
My desire has always been to create FUN, high quality, flexible and intuitive wiring options for Stratocasters. I’ve designed my own circuits for years but have been inspired by others like Leo. I personally have design tested all my circuits to have no dead switch spots, Every position has flavor. I’ve learned that players love the Traditional Stratocaster sound but yet want the switching. So I maintained the Traditional settings but wired them to transform into a new Strat when you pull a switch or tweak a knob. Ultimately, I play every design. Over and Over. If I like it, it becomes one of my featured circuits; if not, I either tweak it again or toss it out. Now I design circuit simply by my mind because I know how it’s going to sound…
