Very good pickups
I bought a roadworn tele a while back and I upgraded the pickups to these Texas specials.
A big improvement to my ears anyway. If you’ve tried the Tex mex pickups, you’ll like these. They are great for blues, rock, country and jazz. I tried Texas specials on strats but prefer them in teles somehow. Each to their own I guess. They have just about enough heat for my liking.
They will definitely be an instant upgrade on tele standards for sure
There’s enough vids on YouTube etc, hey, check em out

fender texas specials
after playing with my standard telecaster pups for 2 years i decided that it was time to treat myself and have an upgrade. I first looked online to see what was available and better that what sounded best. i was won over by the fender texas specials due to sound quality and the variety of different styles that they could compete with, not to mention that they are used by many of my favourite guitar players. When i received the pups it was really easy to install them and only took a couple of hours to get the guitar back up and running. the neck pickup has a really nice bit to it and is very hot which is great for that classic blues tone and the bridge pickup i found was good for country music.

Great pickups from Fender
Fitted these to my Stormshadow Tele, and have been quite happy with them. They're a little hotter than some, but still fundamentally a Tele pickup, so bright and twangy, but with a bit more going on in the mids.
If you play really clean, or for some other reason want a lower output pickup, then you might prefer the Nocaster set, which is a tiny bit sweeter, but if you want to play a more varied range of styles including heavy rock, then this set is ideal. When you add overdrive, these have a little bit less of that scratchiness you can get with Tele pickups. With the tone rolled back a bit, you can play metal on these, but they'll still do a nice country clean.
Quality wise, they're 100%, as you would expect from Fender.

Good Set for Punk Rock, J-Rock, or Light Metal (I Guess)
I own an HB TE-62 (still using it), and as a beginner guitarist, I was obsessed with the idea of buying a cheap guitar and upgrading it later. Eventually, I wanted to try some higher-quality pickups and decided to go with this set instead of the noiseless variant.
I’m not a pickup expert, but to my ears, this set easily sounds about twice as powerful as the stock ones. They handle overdrive and distortion really well and can even compete with some medium-output humbuckers.
If you’re unsure what to get, this set is a great choice if you’re after something modern-sounding rather than vintage. Perfect for punk rock, J-rock, or light metal tones.

Schot in de roos
Stond er eerst twijfelachtig tegen. Ik ben gewend om met de grootste en boutique merken te werken.
Ik wou deze al lang eens proberen, en ik moet zeggen dat ze me super bevallen!
Een aanrader, prijs kwaliteit zijn ze top.

Telecaster Upgrade
Can't recommend these enough. I have put these in two different telecasters now and have been very pleased with the results. These have a slightly hotter sound to them so if you are after the stereotypical tele sound they might not be for you. However if you like your sound with a bit of muscle then these are the ones to go for.

Decent upgrade!
Put these in a partscaster. Very specific tone, good for blues rock ,warm drive tones. Neck pickup is better than standard, but have to say I now prefer DiMarzio true velvet pickups, although this is just personal taste. If you have a Squire or similar tele, these are a good upgrade and reasonably priced. They also have the extra wire needed for four way switch if required.

Amazing Pickups
They simply sound great, warmer and powerful just playing with the settings. Versatile and terrific sound range.
