Fender Tex Mex Strat Pick-Ups (White)

Highly usable and clear pickups perfect for any home build or any upgrade of a cheaper instrument, I myself put them into a 90s Squier Strat and was extremely impressed! The install was quite easy as everything was of a suitable fit allowing for easy work for myself. I am strung with 11-52s and tuned to drop C# and play through a cranked Ac30C2 and these pickups shone through and added a crispness to my sound which I had been looking for as I had been using humbuckers for the most part in recent times.

I purchased these for a project guitar that would be my Mark Knopfler tribute strat. My basis was a 1997 Squier Affinity. Contrary to opinions these instruments are a really good upgrade format. I wanted a hotter sound than my player series strat, but retaining that quintessential strat tone. These pickups are just that. Knopfler had Texas specials in his 62. For me the Tex-Mex give me the tone I want for all early Dire Straits material. The magnets and wiring are the quality of these pickups. The cheap plastic base plate and cable wiring are the price you don't pay for these budget pickups. But all in all 5*

just the sound I was looking for goes well with my Bugera v5 tube amp for a nice bluesy sound
