Sound
Hot pickups with nice vintage sound. i have 5 tele's and have swapped out pickups a few times. I settled on texas specials which were MUCH hotter and beefier than the stock pickups. The mexican tele owner who said they sound like the stock pickups may have ear-plugs in. i have a couple sets of Lindu Fralins, which can be a bit chimey, but are great for recording.The texas specials are super responsive live and really respond to a little overdrive. Very happy with these. Adjust them differently for each guitar.
Features
good packaging, all the needed bits plus directions, surgical tubing etc. very adjustable.
Quality
no problems on any of them. they hold up well and look great.
Value
less expensive than a set of fralins..but if you have a few tele's you need these on one, and fralins on another.
Manufacturer Support
no support needed, but fender is huge and will usually help out.
The Wow Factor
A tele is not sexy... I gretsch sparkle jet is sexy. I tele looks like a shop project. A cool shop project.
