This is the second guitar I've used these pups in and they are great..tone to spare and a good price..very pleased with product and with Sweetwater

I have a Squier Affinity Stratocaster, that I originally bought because it was a HSS. Long to short, I wasn't happy with the ceramic pups,so I did some research and decided to get the Tex-Mex loaded pickguard.It has a 11 hole pickguard, so it will fit in a Squier The pots are 500K,250K in the Squire which didn't do much on tone control! After a quick string change an swapped out the original pups and pots, She was a guitar: the Quack, Bark, Moan an snap, not to mention the amount of tone control. I recommend anyone who likes Blues and Classic rock, to give them a try. Also, I found this out after installing them that Fenders SRV Stratocaster model came with those pups an pots. That should give you an idea of the Bite this setup has.

I know a lot about audio but not a whole lot about guitar electronics. I had never changed pickups before. I went out on a limb and put these in an old off-brand cheap pawn shop strat I had laying around. It now sounds AMAZING. Like so fat. Night and day difference. I'm still working on getting the pickup heights right but I can already tell that these rock.

I can tell you many things about this pickups but judge yourself. I swap the ceramic stock pickups in my MIM Strat with this Tex Mex and couldn't be more happy. But watch my video attached and judge for yourself. There is some reverb and compression on the guitar nothing heavy.

Ok, 4 strats in my arsenal. 2 Custom, 1 a parts caster, 1 the real deal. These pickups went into my newer custom - all my strats have ash bodies, 2 have maple finger boards, 2 are rosewood. The Tex Mex brought me the elusive 'chimey' sound (probably mostly due to how I play/pick) but none-the-less, these pickups brought the 'goods'. These are not thin sounding in the least but full with the high's that I'd been missing. I'm a big fan of these PUP's.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them!
