Strat Hot Alnico
What is a tex-mex pickup?
I want to compare the standard Fender telecaster with the deluxe nashville telecaster, and at first glance it would seem the only difference is the addition of a strat pickup in the latter version. However, when compared side by side on the Fender website, it is revealed that they contain different bridge pickups as well. The standard tele has a "Hot Tele Single-Coil Bridge Pickup with Alnico 3 Magnets" while the deluxe nashville holds a "Tex-Mex Tele Single-Coil Bridge Pickup"
I was wondering what the differences are between these two pickups, be it tone or over-all quality or whatever.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Hello there,
Tex Mex pickups are overwound vintage style pickups. They tend to be a little hotter than a standard pickup. I don't recall whether they use Alnico 3 or 5 magnets in them. In the Strat line, Fender uses Tex Mex pickups in the Jimmie Vaughn Strat.
