If talking about the single coils, most likely you can throw this in there. There is a chance the cutouts for the pickups isn't quite right and you'd have to chip away some wood, but most likely it would fit.
For the humbucker, you have to take the current guard off and look. A lot of strats are not routed for a humbucker and you would have to do so yourself.

Well if someone is looking at the Shawbucker loaded pickguard that wouldn't be a vintage tone anyway. That said have you even tried the Gen 4 Fender noiseless pups ? The gen 3 was leaps and bounds better than any noiseless single coil before it. The gen 4 are even better. These are extremely good pickups, used on the Fender Ultra as standard equipment and also an option on any Custom Shop order.
These aren't a true vintage tone pickup as they are a bit hotter anyway. That said the cleans are very good, can produce some great dirt and the S1 switching is much more than hype, can produce some fantastic tones.
Sure they may not be a true vintage tone they produce very very good Strat tones without the hum and even more combinations with the S1 switching.
For this price, well worth it. Even if ya change the pickguard to match your guitar

If you're not looking to drill any holes, you'll also need to check the count and placement of the pick guard screws - as they vary by the model/year of strat in quantity and position.
Good call out since OP was looking to put a Fender pickguard on a Gibson guitar.

I am a bit disappointed as I jumped on the shawbucker pickguard right after the original half price pickup sale was posted and didn't research much as I figured I was just getting an Ultra pickguard from an HSS, bbut I don't think that is the case.
You can see the ultra version of the S1 switching here, which is different than my am pro II that has the more traditional push pull switching vs. the inset button on the Ultra... oh well: https://www.sweetwater.
EDIT: here is the back of an ultra pickguard with S1 switching, it is a very obviously different volume pot with a PCB on the back. Even a push/pull would be pretty obvious from the back, being much taller with more circuits wired. https://reverb.com/item/31298136-...s-usa-mint

Wow!! You're correct! These must be produced for this sale. Was on the Fender site a few weeks ago and looking at these. At which time the same pickups with prewired guard had the S1. My fault, I apologize, assumed they were the same.
Thanks for pointing that out
Cheers
