Detail 01
Set of three
Neck, middle and bridge all included, so positions stay balanced. Buying singles piecemeal usually leaves one position louder.

FenderCustom Shop Texas Special Strat Pickups, Set of 3 - White
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three overwound single-coils for Stratocaster-style guitars, with white covers. For players who want more output and midrange than a stock Strat set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strat players who find stock pickups thin through a driven amp
- Blues and rock rigs that need more push into the front end
- Full-guitar rewires where all three positions get replaced
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting glassy, low-output vintage clean tones
- Anyone needing hum-free operation on stage
- Guitars with humbucker or HSS routing
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
SSS configuration
Standard Strat layout with five-way switching intact, including the quacky in-between positions.
Detail 03
Overwound single-coils
More output and thicker mids than stock. Pushes an amp into breakup sooner and thickens single-note lines.
Detail 04
White covers
Matches white, parchment and aged-white pickguards. Covers can be swapped if you want a different color.
Detail 05
Custom Shop build
Hand-wound construction, which is where most of the price sits versus a production set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Soldering required; three pickups means more wiring time than a single swap
- 02Pickguard and five-way switch are not included
- 03Higher output means you may want 250k pots to keep top end in check
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are these noiseless?
No. They are true single-coils and will hum in positions one, three and five. Positions two and four are quieter from the reverse-wound middle pickup.
02Will these fit any Stratocaster?
They fit standard Strat pickguard routing and mounting. Guitars routed for humbuckers or with non-standard pickguards need modification.
03How much hotter are they than stock?
Noticeably. Expect more midrange and earlier amp breakup, while still cleaning up with the volume knob rolled back.
04Do they come with a pickguard?
No. This is three loose pickups with lead wires. You mount them to your existing pickguard and wire them yourself.
