Love the TS pickups. Even though they do not run a really hot "k" they are a bit fatter. I think combined with heavier strings SRV definately got his tone. The Newer Emerald Lace Sensors do a good job mimicking the tone as well. One just needs to remember these are wound "backward" when you mix them with other pickups. I have read on forums more than once where people would mix a TSP with some other pickups and then wondered why they got a thin, tinny tone on positions 2 & 4. I learned the hard way! One has to swap the wires around and bingo, everything works fine.... :lol: if your looking for vintage Strat tone with a little more kick, they are great pickups.

You might already know that the James Burton Tele uses the Blue, Silver, Red Lace Sensors? Really a different tone than the TXS.....


Fender themselves use a Texas special In the bridge of their customshop deluxe stratocaster, and cs69s in neck and middle, so if your theory is correct, they would have to have the middle texas special in the bridge position of that guitar, as the cs69 middle in that guitar is RW/RP, but that seems odd, as the reading on that particular bridge pickup matches a std texas special bridge pickup and not a middle texas special pickups, Maybe they just wired it normal in that instance, like they have wound some cs9s rw/rp in the middle position on some customshop models, as the after market cs69s are not rw/rp

I remember reading that when SRV's was set up he had the middle Texas Special rw/rp.

I can recheck my source if needed.

Texas Specials are already RWRP for the middle.

Interesting. Didn't think LS's were wound as such. Always thought their design was completely different.
