 Absolutely transformed my axe! Nov 05, 2010
By Scot T. Zediker
I own a '97 MIM Stratocaster, and while I've always liked how it played, its sound left a bit to be desired. With the stock pickups, it definitely sounded "Strat-y" but lacked punch, and on occasion its tone was bright to the point of sounding harsh (this particular problem got worse when I shielded the pickup cavity).
Well, I dropped in a set of Texas Specials, and now it has plenty of warmth in the midrange. These pickups sound great clean, with a little gain, or with a lot of gain, and they're just bright enough (as opposed to the too-bright stock parts). And even with the gain turned up to 12 on my amp, they still clean up nicely when you roll off the volume. Between the cost of these and a MIM Standard Strat, you have a great-sounding guitar for considerably less than an American Standard Stratocaster. Or you could pop for a Deluxe Roadhouse Strat or the American Special, both of which come with these pickups from the factory.
But anyway, if you have a less-expensive Stratocaster (or facsimile thereof), give these a try. It might be just what you're looking for.
Strat Texas Specials Mar 22, 2012
By Steve
I ordered these with next day shipping, $80.00 cheaper than the in-store price. I own a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Strat, the pickups woke up a Sleeping Beauty. I am able to get 5 different tones, the highs, mids & lows are phenomenal. I would recommend these pickups for any Strat if you are looking for true Texas Style Blues.
Perfect texas blues sound fast shipping! Feb 18, 2012
By Brian B
I have a new Mim strat that i already liked but was really wanting more of that aggressive bluesy tone so after research these are the ones i picked,and im very glad i did! The response you from how light or hard you pick the string is what really makes me happy, it feels like you have even more control over the tone. The bridge pick up is a little bit twangy to me but again the difference between the 3 lets you really dial in your tone I would really recommend these to anyone who likes the Stevie Ray Vaughan style sound and i know that name comes up a lot with these pick ups but that's an easy way of describing the massive tone these things produce! Also The price cant be beat on amazon, And the shipping was quick! earlier then the expected delivery time
The BEST pickups I have ever heard. Jan 29, 2012
By John Barry
I bought these from here and installed them into a very cheap B stock guitar I bought online. The guitar was very flawed up but had a decent looking finish. It features a very cheap alder body, cheap bridge, nut and tuners, and terribad fret job on a very poor quality maple/rosewood neck that would make the most adept luthier fret. I completely re-did the frets and put some heavy 58-12 strings on the guitar with these pickups. I also tried them with Ernie Ball 10's and they sound amazing, so you don't need to use "barb wire" strings and absurdly high action, but it does improve the tone. And it's the SRV tone we're all after, right?
Getting to the point: these are the best pickups I have ever heard. I have 57-62 which I love. I have almost every major guitar ever made. Alnico 3 and 5's galore. 54's, 69's, Custom shop, Ceramics, crunch, p90's -- you name it. These are the best.
My experience was extremely fast shipping, great customer service and a wonderful product that I love so much. Total price for my guitar was right around $220 bucks and it easily beats my $2000 dollar strat. I'm not the bright bulb in the world so if *I* can do this, *YOU* can too.
I will add this: I've been playing guitar for 33 years. Putting it mildly, I have never been impressed with Tex Mex pickups but I LOVE these Texas Specials. I never thought anything would outshine my 57/62's but these do. I can't recommend these pickups enough.
FINALLY THE RIGHT TONE Jan 04, 2012
By Luthierman
If you want great tone and growl this set is perfect. Stevie Ray tone. You don't need a Boutique set. Trust me.
All you need is a good Tube Amp and an overdrive Pedal (Tube Screamer)and you got it!
Killer Texas Blues.
Go for it! (60 Cycle Hum)? Who cares. I use a good Boss Noise Supressor Pedal. Stop playing and is shuts the signal down.
