Hey guys so I have a difficult decision to make.

I want to buy some Texas Custom Shop Pick Ups and I don't know if I should get the cheaper ones (also a 40min drive to get em) for $120.00 CDN or The well known, bigger, and much more trusted store for $190.00 CDN (and a 10min drive)

The link to the cheaper ones (not sure if real) are here: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Fender-Custom-Shop-Texas-Special-Strat-Pickups-BRAND-NEW-W0QQAdIdZ433290858 (The guy owns a Buy N Sell store where these ones are sold) and the other one (much more trusted and 100% real) are here: http://cosmomusic.ca/pick-up-guitar-fender-texas-special-strat-white-set-of-3.html

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! I am really not sure which ones to get and if there are even fakes around :\

Thank you guys!

Welcome.

The packaging is identical, obviously. In other words, they appear to be the exact same product. If you really distrust the cheaper of the two, ask about their return policy. Again though, they appear to be the identical product. If I were looking to buy a set, I'd go to the first guy as that is a significant price difference.

As always, this is merely IMO where YMMV.

You're welcome.

Anyone can fake anything but I don't see a whole lot of motivation for creating bogus Texas Specials.

Again, this is merely IMO where YMMV.
