I'm replacing the HSS pickups in my 2010 MIM Std Strat with Fat 50's. So, obviously I'm replacing the pickguard, but can I just reuse the electrical components or do I need to replace any with different values (pots, etc.)?

Due to the humbucket pickup, just checkout if you got 250K pots instead of 500K. 250K pots and .22uf cap and you´ll be fine.

+1

Actually, the tone caps should measure .022uf.

.01uf and .033 values might also be used.
