Ok, I went to 2 guitar centers, and 3 small shops around and cant find any guitars with these in them.

Can someone give me a breakdown or comparison or experience with these?

Im playing blues, grunge, and general hendrix sounding stuff.

CS 54s are bright and very vintage sounding. Maybe a bit thin in the bridge pup in my opinion.

Fat 50s are a little more rich in tone. Still vintage but more tone and heavier on the bass.

CS 69s are described as the Hendrix-esque pickups.

I found this site, but I don't know how faithful the sound samples are. It might be worth a look.

Try searching for demos on youtube. That's where I first heard Texas Specials and decided that I liked them.
