Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickups (3)

The "Texas blues" sound that pushes your Strat to the front of the mix

Designed to redefine the powerful sound of Texas blues, the Custom Shop Texas Special bring your Stratocaster that extra body that transforms attack and presence. The overwinding increases output level while maintaining true playing sensitivity: it snaps in clean tones, growls when pushed, and responds perfectly to pick nuances as well as volume variations.

For guitarists who want more bite without losing the Strat soul

This set is aimed at musicians seeking a modern yet organic sound, with more pronounced mids to cut through the band, and solid lows for thicker blues-rock parts. In the middle positions, you still get the Strat vibe, with a denser and warmer texture, perfect for punchy rhythms and singing leads.

Custom Shop design: Alnico 5, enamel-coated wire, and staggered pole pieces

Alnico 5 magnets and enamel-coated magnet wire contribute to a crisp attack and clear definition, while the staggered poles improve string balance. Each pickup (neck, middle, bridge) has its own resistance and inductance values for a progressive gain increase and a coherent tonal palette across the selector switch.
