I just needed to say: Hooray for Texas Special Pickups! They've really breathed some new life into my MIM Standard Strat (and look nice with a mint pickguard) :D

Beautiful! Brings a tear to the eye it does! Looks a lot like an American Deluxe Strat!

I sure hope he is, those are great pickups. Great tone when cranked up and can be as buttery as they get!

I put Tex-Mex in my daughter's Squire and changed the pickguard to a reddish tortoise shell pickguard. Looks really good!

Dont be afraid to play with the pickup height.Alot of people like to lower them against the pickgard to give them a more vintagey vibe.

I had T/S in a Strat and liked that warm blues tone you get from them. I sold that Strat and was sorry afterwards. When the next GAS attack hits that`ll be on the list.

I have owned both a MIM Roadhouse and a Lone Star Strat the past few years but I ended up trading them for an '08 American Standard Strat and Tele. I missed the warm, clean Texas Special blues tones though, and I couldn't resist buying an American Special Strat to get them back.

It's all good now. :)
