Pick up only from Finsbury Park, London N7
Fender Roadhouse Stratocaster USA 1997 Texas Special Pickups
SPIDER Tweed hard case - BRAND NEW.
This is the original USA model series (not to be confused with the new Mexican reissue)What makes this guitar different from the American Standard Strat is that it is upgraded with 3 Texas Special single coils and vintage controls (master volume, neck tone, middle tone). All other features and hardware are the same as American Standard. For those of you who wonder what the Texas Special pickups are about, here is some info:
Take a vintage Strat pickup and overwind it for more mid-range, punch and output and you get a pickup with an Attitude! Staggered Alnico 5 magnets, enamel-coated magnet wire and cloth output wires make these pickups the choice of many signature artists. Featuring pickups calibrated for each position and a reverse-coil, reverse-wound middle pickup for noise cancellation (positions 2 and 4). If you want plenty of mid-range bark and crisp high-end bite, Texas Special Strat pickups are for you! OEM on the Steve Ray Vaughan.
The guitar is in really good condition. It has one small dent at the top side of the first fret (not on the front), but that does not affect the performance in any way. There a couple of barely visible scratches at the bottom of the guitar (again not the front). It has rarely been taken out of the house and been played and looked after with love.
Sound:
Good midrange and plenty of twang available. Slightly warmer than stock pickups. The middle pickup is with reverse wound, making second and fourth position (bridge\\middle and middle\\neck) ideal for recording, because of the noise cancellation effect.
