Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickups

The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickup Set unleashes the beefy powerhouse tone that defined the Texas blues sound. These custom-calibrated, overwound single-coil pickups are designed for guitarists chasing fat, overdriven tone with extra output and chime. Packed with midrange bark and crisp high-end bite, the Texas Specials roar with attitude.

Custom-Calibrated Pickups Deliver High-Output Tone

The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickup Set features custom-calibrated, overwound single-coil pickups for high-output tone with extra punch and chime. The bridge pickup is hot, pushing 6.5k-7.1k ohms of output for a mighty, overdriven roar. The neck and middle pickups produce 6.2k and 6.5k ohms respectively, blending warmth and clarity. These pickups unleash the beefy, overdriven tone that defined the Texas blues sound.

Alnico 5 Magnets and Enamel-Coated Wire Produce Classic Tone

The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickup Set uses Alnico 5 magnets and enamel-coated magnet wire, just like vintage Fender designs. This combination produces a warm, bell-like tone with beautifully clear harmonics. The bridge pickup is calibrated for balance, pushing its high-output tone without harshness. These pickups capture the musicality of classic Fender tone while powering high-gain applications.

Reverse-Wound/Reverse-Polarity Middle Pickup Cancels Hum

The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickup Set features a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup that cancels hum in positions 2 and 4. This clever design lets you access glassy, single-coil tone without the buzz and hum that high-output pickups can produce. The Texas Specials deliver noise-free tone and high output, giving you the best of both worlds.

Included White Covers Provide Classic Look

The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickup Set includes classic white covers for a vintage-inspired look. These covers protect the pickups and complete the iconic appearance of a traditional Stratocaster.
