My question is regarding the pickups that comes stock in the American stratocasters.
As example for the SRV stratocaster and the Knopfler stratocaster that comes with Texas Specials stock or even the American Special. But those pickups are the same Custom Shop Texas Specials ?
When you look inside a pickguard of those stock strats, they doesnt have the Custom Shop sticker, so I wondered if they´re pretty much the same, or another line of pickups maybe made by the same specs of the Custom Shop ones.
Thanks.

hey jao,
how's the weather down in brazil?
To my understanding the Texas specials are custom shop
are they cloth covering the wire?

Also, the pickups on am standards are not custom shop.
The ones in the Mercedes blue ones from sweetwater are

Yeah, the cloth is pretty much there. I guess it was just my paranoia.
Today, particularly is rainy and damn hot!
In a few days I´ll be going down to the beaches.
Excepting to see good things! A little preview for ya mate! Cheers!

That´s the one I got !

Aside from being able to say someones grandma wound em, there's no difference between tx specials and cs tx specials. It's a marketing ploy, nothing more.
