The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickup Set – Hot Texas Blues Tone with Enhanced Output

Overwound Design for Increased Output

The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickup Set is designed to deliver the signature punchy, high-output tone that has defined Texas blues and rock. With an over-wound design, these pickups provide an aggressive midrange bite, clear highs, and a tight, responsive bass. Whether you're looking for searing lead tones or dynamic rhythm textures, this set offers the perfect balance of warmth and articulation.

Alnico 5 Magnets for Clarity and Definition

Featuring Alnico 5 magnets, the Texas Special pickups offer enhanced focus and dynamics, ensuring that every note rings out with clarity. The staggered pole pieces provide balanced output across all strings, maintaining even volume and response. This design helps create the signature spank and snap that makes a Stratocaster shine in any mix.

Reverse-Wound Middle Pickup for Hum Cancellation

One of the standout features of this set is the reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup, which eliminates unwanted hum in positions 2 and 4. This allows for classic Strat quack and sparkle while keeping the signal clean and interference-free. Whether you're playing live or in the studio, this feature ensures a noise-free performance with all the tonal richness intact.

Vintage Construction with Period-Correct Materials

Built with period-correct cloth-covered wiring and fiber bobbins, these pickups not only deliver authentic Fender tone but also maintain a vintage aesthetic. The enamel-coated magnet wire contributes to the warm and dynamic character of the sound, ensuring a responsive and expressive playing experience.

Ideal for Blues, Rock, and Classic Strat Tones

From smooth, bell-like cleans to thick, overdriven sustain, the Texas Special pickups offer a broad tonal range suitable for various playing styles. Whether you’re chasing classic blues tones or dialing in modern rock sounds, this pickup set brings legendary Fender character with increased output and dynamic sensitivity.
