Hey Fello Strat/Tele Heads.... I need your wisdom.

Fender Tex-Mex Pick-ups- I am planning on droping them into my Stock 2000 MiM Strat. I played around with a Lonestar strat at GC and I liked their sound- and I love their price.

So you guys are my second opinion...What do you think about Fender Tex-Mex Pick-ups?

Thank you

The Freeze

I guess that would be up to the type of music and style you play. There`s nothing wrong with Tex-Mex pups if thats the sound your looking for. Although I prefer Texas Specials, I play Blues mostly and find those pups give me the tone I want.

I had a set briefly. They didn't sound bad at all. They had a little bit of grit to them, no where near Texas Specials. Yet, for some reason or other, they really hummed above and beyond what I'm used to for Fender single coil sets. And yes, they were wired correctly, house wiring is OK, etc, etc. So, I yanked them and put in some DiMarzios.

I love mine. The are great pups. You can get so much wild tone out of them. They have a very Strat-y tone. To me, they create the near-ideal SSS Strat. They also do heavy tones great, but they will never go crunch like a humbucker.
