The Tex-Mex pickups are good, not great. Better than MIM standard pickups IMHO. They wired pretty hot (8.5k) and get real gritty pretty easily. This helps attain the Texas Blues sounds at lower gain settings.

An alternative would be the USA Texas Specials. They are not as hot (6.5K) and offer better clarity. At higher volumes, they really sing.

This is the only upgrade I would make to this guitar. I'm sure the guys at Fender thought about it, but it probably came down to pricepoint.

If RWs were sold with Texas Specials installed, they would easilly break the $1000 barrier.

Lmao! No, lol, it means you don't need to type with all capital letters. Press the key at the left hand of you keyboard that says "Caps Lock". Caps Lock means Capital Lock, and you use only capitals while typing. Or, if you have your hand on it, take it off the "Shift" key.

You replied right there. Get yourself a Fender Twin Reverb. Or a VOX AC30.

Hey to all, I've seen the RW's, I love the look; the feel of the neck is something I'm trying to achieve on my '87 '57 RI I love that feel! I didn't like the "lightness" of the body, however, if I didn't have a strat, the '50's or '60's RW wold be it!

Price point :!: They put pickups that retail themselfs for 84.00 into a guitar thats MIM and going to be sold for 950.00 I would love to have someone tell me what makes this so much more then say a MiM Deluxe fat Strat, MIM Deluxe Roadhouse or Lonestar, You can get them all for like 750.00 not even that most times or get a Kenny Wayne for 850.00

I sorry I am not saying its a bad guitar but 950.00 for me not a chance for a fake worn out looking guitar.

Hey all, for the RW, you have to include the cost of relicing, someone had to stand there and beat that thing, and that costs,
