Ok, need to clarify this question thats been bugging me. Are the Texas Special Pickups factory installed in American Special Strats/Teles the same Custom Shop versions?

I've measured the DC resistance on my 2011 American Special Strat and this is what I got, neck 6.19, middle 6.36, and bridge 6.73. They have staggered poles.

Same as my other answer :lol:

If you read resistance in circuit ( without disconnecting pickups wire ) your reading are false because volume pots in parallel with pickups.
Real pickups resistance is little higher

:wink:

The specs for the Texas Special are Neck Pickup: 6.2K. Middle: 6.5K. Bridge: 6.5-7.1K, which isn't very far off from what I measured on mine. So are the pickups on my American Special Strat are actual Custom Shop Texas Special Pickups?
