clearly a different middle pickup cosmetically and wire type.Certain it`s a
tex-mex? The other two I`m thinking Custom shop Texas specials or some after market goodness.They really are sweet sounding.Any body seen these before? Id love to know what they are.

Well I think I have discovered it is a 1994 mexican strat body? Someone has maybe replaced the bridge and neck with aftermarket pups.They have that texture like Fralins do and they have the vintage type wire.I looked at fralins and they are not quite the same where the wire goes to pickup but do use the same type of wire.I think the middle is a stock tex mex. This guitar has cheap mini pots and switch I will be replacing along with new pickups unless those turn out to be something good.They may be the only reason this guitar sounds as good as it does?

What does it say on those stickers?
What's the number on the middle? is it 016730?

Do you have a multimeter to measure the DC resistance of them?
Maybe even measure the inductance for us.

That would help us guess what they are.

found the middle pickup in the 70`s strat parts, listed as vintage series mex pickup

No luck with the others yet. They have about twice the output from the middle pickup and sound gobs better.
