Description
Fender built the Tex-Mex set for players who want their Strat to snarl a little more without ditching the vintage single-coil personality that makes the platform great. Made famous on the Jimmie Vaughan signature Stratocaster, this trio delivers hotter output, glassy top-end, and a warm midrange push that cuts through a band mix while still cleaning up beautifully at lower volumes.
Tonal Characteristics
- Staggered polepieces keep string-to-string volume and output even
- Reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup kills hum in positions two and four
- Alnico 5 magnets sharpen focus and dynamic response
- Overwound bridge coil tightens up the bass and pushes maximum output for that Texas grit
Build
- Polysol-coated magnet wire
- Vinyl-coated output wire, durable plastic bobbins
- White pickup covers
