Hi everybody!

I'm Dave. I have a Fender Squier Stratocaster and I want to upgrade its pickups. I would like to buy the Custom Texas Special pickups. I have been comparing prices in many online stores and yesterday, I came across these ones in ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.es/NEW-Fender-Custom-Sh ... 27bb4b4a7d

I think they are really cheap. The difference in the price between these and those that are in other stores is pretty big so the question is: are they a fake?

thanks!

$120 USD is about average for a set here in the States.

Hi Dave,

This is a pretty reasonable price I think. You can probably get them a bit cheaper still though, I think the UK site has them at about £60-£70. I know in the UK at that price from the STates there would be some customs charges though so remember to factr that in too.

Ok, thanks very much for your answers! =)

I'm from Spain and here in Europe they are more expensive (about 150€ --> 220$ more or less). What a luck to live in the states and having access to this wide range of products at this low price!
