I've been playing strats for 25 years professionally; I've tried Don Mare, vintage noiseless, somarian cobalt noiseless, custom shop 69, seymour duncan, among others.
Recently, I bought a used MIM road worn strat which I like very much. They have the Tex Mex pickups in these guitars. I love the way they sound. Just to compare, I decided to switch them out with some pickups I had laying around.
First, the Fender Texas Specials. Tex Mex blows these out of the water. Texas Specials were very generic sounding in comparison. Kinda dead sounding, very ehh, not inspiring.
Next, Fralin Vintage Hot. These were a little better than the Texas Specials, but they sounded like just regular run of the mill strat pickups to me. I guess if you were looking for a guitar that is a Jack of all trades, master of none, these might be good. No shimmery, stratty, glassy bell like tones.
Put the Tex Mex back in... Wow these sound fantastic! They sound just like those custom shop'60 reissues. Super stratty, shimmery, warm, glassy and bell like clean. With some gain, they dirty up really nicely, retaining all the above qualities, but when you dig in they can get thick and sustained and make me want to play for hours. Buddy Holly cleans, Very Gilmourish when pushed with gain and fuzz.
Very impressed!
All three pickups sound great.
Very happy with this purchase:)

All three pickups sound great.
Very happy with this purchase:)
The wiring diagram that came with them was wrong for the Squier but it's no big deal - when replacing pickups I like to draw my own diagram of how everything is wired and also take a couple pictures. Whenever I have done that I've never had any problems with things not working right
-Flattened out the poles to get a more even sound- this is apparently called a "vintage stagger" which is great if you want a "vintage tone" which translates into "general uneven response and really hot G string because it was wound in olden times."
-I also set the pickups high as hell- probably too high, but the tone...the tone is sweeeeet! Gonna play with lowering the middle for more quacky tones on middle+bridge. If I like it lowered (or if not) I might remove the middle pup from the tone pot and see how that influences things- bypassing can let more stuff through, they say. I'm pretty sure that's the Jimmie Vaughan setup, which uses these pickups...so...must be good right?
