FenderTex-Mex Pickups Set of 3
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A three-pickup single-coil set for Stratocaster-style guitars, wound a little hotter than vintage. For players replacing thin or weak stock pickups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Upgrading an entry-level Strat-style guitar's stock pickups
- Players wanting more output without leaving single-coil territory
- Full-guitar rewires where all three positions get matched
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing strictly vintage-spec low-output tone
- Humbucker-routed guitars without single-coil pickguard routing
- Anyone unwilling to solder or pay a tech
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
2.75 inductance
Higher inductance rolls off some top end, so the treble is thick rather than glassy or ice-picky.
Detail 03
Set of three
All three positions are matched, so pickup switching stays balanced. No hunting for a compatible middle or neck.
Detail 04
Single-coil design
Hum is audible near lights, screens and dimmers. Position two and four cancel it; one, three and five do not.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Soldering is required. Budget for a tech if you don't own an iron.
- 02Measure your pickguard routing — these fit standard Strat-style single-coil cavities only.
- 03Plan on resetting pickup height and intonation afterward.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my Squier Strat?
If it has three standard single-coil routes under the pickguard, yes. Check that the middle position isn't a humbucker route before ordering.
02Are these louder than stock pickups?
At 6.4K they read hotter than typical stock single coils, so expect more output and midrange push into a driven amp.
03Do they hum?
Yes, in positions one, three and five. The in-between positions two and four cancel hum against each other.
04Can I use these in a Telecaster?
No. Tele pickups use different bridge and neck formats. These are cut for Strat-style single-coil routes.
