Hot Texmex !!
I wanted something hotter for my Telecaster style guitar and I thought I would give these a try. I got what I wanted. These are sure hotter than what I had. They measured right at 6.5k at the neck and 8.7k at the bridge as advertised on the Fender Website. The neck pickup sounds close to a strat neck and the bridge is pure tele with a big bite.The trick is the pickup height. I had to spend some time to find the tone I like, but when I did it put a smile on my face. The pickups are very sesitive to pickup height. What worked for me was to lower the neck pickup to 10/64ths on the bass side and 8/64ths on the treble side. The bridge pickup I set to 9/64ths on the bass side and 7/64ths on the treble side. I also rolled the tone knob back half way when using the bridge pickup. You may think they are too hot or not hot enough, but if you adjust the pickup height to your liking the magic is there! Also reasonably priced. Enjoy........
