Fender Texas Special Telecaster Single-Coil Pickup Set

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Used with the James Burton Standard, Merle Haggard Tribute and American Classic Teles, this single coil pickup set uses Alnico V magnets and enamel-coated magnet wire.
Overview
Razor-sharp attack and higher output make these Tele pickups essential equipment for the well- equipped Tele owner! Born in the Custom Shop and used on many custom-made Teles, they feature height-staggered Alnico 5 magnets mounted into a fiber bobbin wrapped with enamel-coated magnet wire. The bridge pickup features a copper-plated steel bottom plate for increased output, presence and midrange. The neck pickup utilizes a nickel silver cover for clear, warm tone with increased output. OEM on the James Burton Standard, Merle Haggard Tribute and American Classic Telecasters.

"The best Telecaster pickup Period."
I will never replace the product ever!
Sound
I put these pickups in my Squire Telecaster which was my favorite playing guitar. The Texas Specials made my guitar like a new guitar. Now the lead guitar player in my band keeps bothering me to sell him the guitar. The sounds I can acheive with the clean, and distortion are spectacular. I run my Telecaster live through a Fender M80 Chorus Combo amp. For my distortion I run a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster, and a Boss Distortion Pedal. I always had distortion feedback problems with the Telecaster before with the old pickups, but I loved the sound of the clean. The new pickups made my guitar's cleans sound like a ringing bell tone. I can acheive any clean sound from country, and 60's pop twangy brightness on the bridge pickup, to almost a Les Paul clean on the neck pickup. I use 11 boomers for more meaty sound for my strings. Also I would suggest the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster for anyone using a Telecaster that wants better distortion. I can acheive Metallica, Slayer type distortion with it. I have tried for about 5 years to find a way to turn my cheaper Telecaster into a mean machine, and Through the two Upgrades I have discussed here I have achived all I have wished for and more
