I had a TexMex in the bridge of my main Tele back in the 90’s and didn’t mind it. This pair is working well on a recent kit build. Don’t let the name make you think that they’re hot. I’d say they just have a little kick over stock standard Tele pickups. A little extra bass and highs to let them cut through the mix over others.

Pickups sound really good and bright, pretty good deal with the cable. Fast shipping, definitely recommend.

I was building a Parts-Caster guitar. I had some old pickups that used to work and they died. Not wanting to spend a lot of money on pickups I bought these from Amazon. They were a quick install, and work great. They're kind of hot, but I can handle that with the controls, and they're crystal clear with good tone deviation as I change it.

Great shipping time, arrived sooner than expected. The bonus cable helps too. These are the bare pick up so make sure you are able to solder yourself or have a Luther do it.

Came in the genuine fender Tex-mex professional packaging and the cable that came with it was exactly the one advertised in the listing. Everything worked flawlessly, only complaint I had was the ground wire was to short for where I needed to connect it, it even specified it was supposed to be longer in the included diagram, but I doubt this was a flaw on the sellers behalf and more on the side of fender.

The pros:Neck: classic woody tele sound but with extra clarity. It doesn't sound like a strat at all (and that's good).Bridge: very twangy, punchy and dynamic. Low strings have that piano quality. Bright, but high end is sweet sounding.Middle position: Very funky sounding. But, a little more scooped than a regular tele.The cons:Bridge pickup is very microphonic at high gain settings. Maybe this is a defective unit.The thing with Tele bridge pickups is that they need to be extremely well wax-potted, because they are susceptible to mechanical vibrations.If you read all the comments, complaints can be split in two:A) Dead neck pickupB) Microphonic pickup (I'm in this category)Fender quality leaves much to be desired.

I'm a Telecaster guy, I fall for anything T-style and I love to put together kits and partscasters. I've owned both Fenders and Squiers and I often upgrade the pickups and hardware. The Fender Tex Mex pickups have always been one of my mainstays. With a set of brass saddles the bridge pickup, at 8.0k really delivers the Tele twang and when you push it, a very big, bassy bang. The neck pickup at 5.8 is very serviceable and blends well with some OD, and because the pickups are overwound just enough, it can be nicely thick without being too muddy. If you need something bigger go P90 or humbucker in the neck.This is the third pair of Tex Mex pickups I've installed in a build, and they won't be the last. Didn't mean to fanboy on them too much, but I am a fan.
