Description

Description

Whether you are chasing searing blues leads, gritty classic rock rhythms or just want your clean tones to feel more alive, this set is voiced to push your amp into sweet overdrive without sacrificing note definition. With a hot bridge pickup, balanced neck and a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum-cancelling positions, Tex-Mex Hot pickups give your Strat extra attitude while staying true to its roots.

Engineered with staggered pole pieces and raised D and G magnets, these pickups offer excellent string-to-string balance and enhanced note separation, so chords stay clear and single notes sing. Vinyl-coated output wire, plastic bobbins and included installation hardware make it straightforward to drop them into your favourite Strat and get straight to playing.

Hot-Rodded Tex-Mex Tone

Building on the much-loved Tex-Mex recipe, Tex-Mex Hot Stratocaster pickups are overwound to add more output and midrange punch. This gives your sound extra presence and authority, ideal for driving pedals and amps harder while still retaining the open, chiming character that makes Tex-Mex pickups a favourite for blues, rock and beyond.

Alnico 5 Focus and Dynamics

Using Alnico 5 magnets, this set delivers a tight low end, articulate highs and a responsive feel under the fingers. The magnets help notes jump out with clarity and definition, making bends, vibrato and subtle picking dynamics feel more expressive and controlled.

Hum-Reducing Middle Position

The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup is designed to work with the neck and bridge in positions 2 and 4 of a traditional Stratocaster switch, helping to reduce hum. This gives you those classic in-between tones with a cleaner background, perfect for stage and studio use.

Balanced Staggered Pole Pieces

Staggered pole pieces with raised D and G magnets are carefully voiced for modern string sets and playing styles. This design improves string-to-string balance and note separation, so complex chords remain clear and every note in a run can be heard, even with higher gain settings.

Key Features

Overwound for Extra Output – Slightly increased windings on the coils provide more output and midrange push, helping you hit the front of your amp harder for richer overdrive and more assertive lead tones.
Alnico 5 Magnet Construction – Alnico 5 magnets deliver focused lows, crisp highs and strong dynamics, giving you a responsive, touch-sensitive feel that suits everything from gentle cleans to aggressive picking.
Reverse-Wound, Reverse-Polarity Middle Pickup – The RWRP middle pickup works with the neck and bridge to reduce hum in the in-between switch positions, so you can enjoy classic Strat quack with less background noise.
Staggered Poles with Raised D and G – Staggered pole pieces and raised D and G magnets help balance output across all six strings, improving clarity in chords and ensuring every note in a phrase is heard clearly.
