Hi man.

I have check again the intonation and, for me, is good.

Image 2 : The new Intonation... similar to original setup saddles

Here the Test File Audio (Eh E Ah A Dh D Gh G Bh B Eh E) with tolerance between +/- 5 cent intonation 440

For the change of the PU no problem (the problem is the cost of shipping!)
The sound of Texas Special is very beautiful and very powerful. Certainly, they tend to "screech" in the pickup on the bridge, but with a good dose of the tone is spectacular. However, it is a PU you have to like it. The Texas Special, dont have middle way: or like or no :) You must try to understand their tone... for example In my Strato, I have setup of Texas Special and I do not change them more! :D

The Tele Texas Special are more "strong" and dry (imho) compared to Strato Texas, but with a power very, very beautiful. I really like the potition central with a tone a little dark. Certainly on the Strato you have best combinations, but if you work with the tone on Telecaster, it's very fluid and dynamic. Then, it is very vintage classic sound of Tele (with appropriate songs). I really like it with clean sounds.

The Strato Texas is a bit cleaner and underpowered, but ideal for mixing with position and tone (imho). The 1°, 2° and 4° position is very nice, the 5° position is too "hard" (always in my opinion). If played with open tone, is a bit "dry". Hovewer, I really like it.

Certainly, as I have already said, the Texas Special PU I like or dislike ;)
