"...These do a decent job of sounding like single coil pickups and well worth a shot." Read more

"They are indeed perfectly noiseless. Great for a lot of the problems I was having recording straight in to my rig...." Read more
"...The difference is astounding. I went from cheap guitar sound to champion vintage Strat tone...." Read more
"...and the noisy 60-cycle hum-buzz is GONE... totally satisfied with their performance, and at $99, this is the BEST price ANYWHERE!!!..." Read more

"...There is no buzzing on these pickups, very quiet. The plastic covers are not bright white, more cream or "vintage" white...." Read more

Some mention that installation was fairly simple and straight forward, while others say that the instructions are not the best and may require some additional work to install. The wiring diagram is not too clear, and the screws can be tricky when installing pickups to the pick guard.

"...3. As other reviewers have noted, the screws can be tricky when installing pickups to the pick guard. It took some finessing to get them to go in...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The Texas Specials I’ve used in my guitars for years are nice pickups, but they don’t quite deliver on the qualities listed above. With these '57/'62 pickups, it feels like a sonic blanket has been lifted and I’m really hearing the guitar again. It’s grin-inducing!
Three things to note:
1. The marketing here, and on the box I received, state that these pickups rate 5 out of 5 on the output(hotness) scale. My ears tell me this isn’t so. These sound like pure, warm vintage pickups. Oddly, I’ve seen other fender literature that states they are 1 out of 5.
2. The pickup specs list a resistance for each pickup of 5.6 ohms. I tested mine with a multimeter before installation and each pickup tested 5.7 ohms. This is surprisingly consistent and close to what is advertised.
3. As other reviewers have noted, the screws can be tricky when installing pickups to the pick guard. It took some finessing to get them to go in. I’ve never encountered that when changing pickups and it did take some time and patience.
The only downside is that they are pricey and now I want to put these in my other strats. I strongly recommend these pickups with the caveat that sound is so subjective. Still, if you enjoy the warmth and clarity of vintage pickups, you will most likely love these. Happy playing!
I settled on 3: new strings, new Fender bridge, and upgrading my pickups. Turns out the same pickups in Claptons blackie can be bought for about $200, and I got even more of a discount because i bought a set from the Amazon warehouse.
So for $170 I had my gear!
Installing was fun too but here is what I wanted to say:
The 2 pickups came with white and black wires; these are the neck and middle. Doesn’t matter which. The black and yellow is the bridge.
The box included a very helpful graphic showing how to to the install, and that made it clear too.
I got 3 potentiometers with the kit, and I didn’t pay close attention when installing them, nor did the graphic say which to put where, so I just went ahead and installed them. Then when i figured where they should have gone and why, so had to go back later and switch them up.
Here’s the deal: I received 2 CTS 1 meg split shaft potentiometer, and 1 CTS 500k potentiometer.
I discovered that due to the bright sound coming off the bridge, usually that gets a less powerful pot so it doesn’t overpower the other pickups, so I should have put the 500k pot there. Turns out it doesn’t matter which 1meg pot you use for volume or neck tone.
The other big mistake I made was, once it was all soldered and I put the pickguard back on, I pushed the knobs down too hard and separated the potentiometers inside. I had to go back later and, while changing them, retighten them so the contacts were all flush again.
Anyhow that’s it. The sound is incredible and I’m very happy with these purchases!

幸い必要最低限の電気的知識とギター修理の経験が有ったので、
すんなりと取り付けが出来ました。
初心者の方はギターショップで購入し、そのまま取り付けてもらった方が
得策でしょう。
音は確かにノイズは少なめですが、ギターの材との相性も
多大に影響するので、あまり期待した音にはなりませんでした。
何事もバランスが大事という教訓を得ました。(笑)
