Steve_BoudreauxIf You Like Hot Dogs, These Are Great Pups
Published on 08/01/11 at 16:26Stevie Ray Vaughn-inspired, and good for mere mortals, these are very good pickups. Just a bit hotter than American Standard Pickups, if you play blues or rock, these could be the single-coils for you.
I own an American Standard Strat- the previous owner had installed Tex Specs in it, and I had the same pups in my previous Strat- a Squier Standard- so I was familiar with these. Still, I wanted to compare. As I play lefty, I could not find a lefty American Standard Strat in Sam Ash the day I went, so I had a guy who worked there play the SRV Strat and the American Standard, back-to-back.

The tone of the Tex Specs is not only a little hotter, it's also fuller and better-sounding, to my ears.
IMO, the SRV Strat is a great tribute to a legendary guitarist- but aping someone else is just not cool, in my book. Install a set of Tex Spec pups in a good, solid Strat, and save yourself considerable money- and lots of "wannabe" embarrassment.

something that can hinder is staging pads, one feels both acute lower than others, but at the same time here gives them a very nice character.

here may annoy fans of taping, but they are not too planned for that.
fender rarely disappoints and offers microphones for everyone, those are classified among the best and should be tried at least once in his life, is one of the strato sounds fuller than they may have, everything is heat, definition, biting, malleable maximum.

They are in perfect agreement with the guitar is typed blues, funk, rock light, I love it.
They excel in this field. on the other hand, do not ask them anything.
For greater versatility, the configuration adopted by lonestar should be fine.
The neck and middle great, split neck / middle is quite soft, sticks very well to a clean fender, and the other is fantastic funk. The bridge less fun. I use it so split, or only rarely. To add the tone suits you! Screaming otherwise ...

The +:

-A good range of sounds, think about the tone for the bridge!
-For a set, the price is reasonable, and it becomes a good Mexican good American, at least that's my opinion.
The -:
The bridge, a little loud, we would like to send with more distortion, but it is not here for after all.
I remake that choice without hesitation, but mostly stay in coherence with the guitar!

I use these mics for 3 years on my stratocaster US Texas Special.
CHARACTERISTICS The main of these pickups are level output important for single coil and a medium enhanced compared to standard micro-US.
Fender has chosen Premire up in the signature Stratocasters Mark Knopfler (Dire Staite) and SRV (Stevie Ray Vaughan), the sound is actually close to the old hard trs Dire Straits with great attack and a tendency go on a lightweight crunch ds that the attack is more incisive. Intermdiaires positions 2 and 4 are well particulirement hollow, restoring rhythmic funky perfectly tipyque the stratocaster.

Intermdiaires positions 2 and 4 are well particulirement hollow, restoring rhythmic funky perfectly tipyque the stratocaster.
In terms of SRV, the strong tendency to crunch and pronounced medium is well suited to approximate the sound of the master.
These must be utiliss microphones with amplifiers of good quality lamps or quality of transistors and having a reserve of power available allowing to master the nuances of playing the guitar volume. Large distortions are not the cup of tea this type of microphones. Their behavior becomes rough or high power then we must reduce the volume lgrement the guitar always because of their emphasis medium.
Here if you are a fan of his stratocaster pchue regular but is the mic for you!
