Tex-Mex™ Strat® Pickups, (3)

Installed it in my CV 60s Squier strat, I think the squier ones are better.

I bought these from here and installed them into a very cheap B stock guitar I bought online. The guitar was very flawed up but had a decent looking finish. It features a very cheap alder body, cheap bridge, nut and tuners, and terribad fret job on a very poor quality maple/rosewood neck that would make the most adept luthier fret. I completely re-did the frets and put some heavy 58-12 strings on the guitar with these pickups. I also tried them with Ernie Ball 10's and they sound amazing, so you don't need to use "barb wire" strings and absurdly high action, but it does improve the tone. And it's the SRV tone we're all after, right? Getting to the point: these are the best pickups I have ever heard. I have 57-62 which I love. I have almost every major guitar ever made. Alnico 3 and 5's galore. 54's, 69's, Custom shop, Ceramics, crunch, p90's -- you name it. These are the best. My experience was extremely fast shipping, great customer service and a wonderful product that I love so much. Total price for my guitar was right around $220 bucks and it easily beats my $2000 dollar strat. I'm not the bright bulb in the world so if *I* can do this, *YOU* can too. I will add this: I've been playing guitar for 33 years. Putting it mildly, I have never been impressed with Tex Mex pickups but I LOVE these Texas Specials. I never thought anything would outshine my 57/62's but these do. I can't recommend these pickups enough.

I didn’t expect these to be this good. The reviews were good, but these pickups aren’t expensive or US made and they are not a particularly popular or high profile offering. So I was surprised to discover that these are really good. You instantly get a beefier more high output sound from the bridge pickup (for a single coil). It’s not glassy like some Strat bridge pickups and is close enough to a Tele bridge pup sound. Hard to get a bad sound out of neck and middle Strat pups (except ceramic, maybe) and these were definitely an upgrade from my 90’s Strat (ceramic) pups. Lots of Strat character and great output. At this price, definitely recommended - feels like a steal!

J’ai longuement hésité entre ceux ci, le set 57/62 et les alnico ii pro. Je regrette pas du tout mon choix. Le son est précis, chaud, dynamique. Tout ce qu’on attend d’une strat comme il se doit

Take the 57/62 and add a bit of oomph and you've got the Fat50s. Not lacking in A N Y T H I N G but not overpowering either. Likely the best strat pickups I've ever used - taking the crown from the 57/62 by just a smidge.
