Description
Found stock in Fender American Special Stratocasters, the Texas Special set trades polite vintage chime for something with more bite. These are overwound single-coils, calibrated as a matched set, so you get a hotter push into your amp without losing the Strat’s signature snap and clarity.
Alnico 5 magnets anchor the tone—tighter and more focused than Alnico 3, with a dynamic response that lets pick attack and volume-knob work translate directly into feel. Enamel-coated magnet wire keeps things warm and vintage-flavored rather than glassy, while staggered pole pieces balance string-to-string output as intended by the original Strat design.
The middle pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity, so positions 2 and 4 cancel hum in true Strat fashion, letting you use the in-between quack without fighting 60-cycle noise. Fiber bobbins and cloth-covered wire keep the construction period-correct, right down to the details you won’t see but will feel in the tone.
