Tex Mex are 1950's to 1970s style pickups employing alnico magnet slugs (the 6 little pole pieces) instead of having a magnet BAR running across the bottom of the pickup-up. Turn the Tex-Mex pickup over, you see NO magnet attached to the bottom of the pole pieces because the pole pieces in the Tex Mex pickups ARE the magnets, whereas in the more recent model strat pickups, there's either one or two magnet pairs on bottom. The Tex-Mex style pickup is VERY BRIGHT.Modern Strat pickups are fatter.

Has the guitar cavities for humbuckers ?

@juankang Yes., for two humbuckers (bridge and neck positions).

You probably know this but look at a bone nut and getting the stainless steel bridge saddles they really aid tone and sustain.

Cara, muito show o som viu, me diz uma coisa, eu tenho uma washburn student series (um lixo), china o corpo é em hardwood, mas parece compensado, som horroroso. Se eu trocar os caps, botando esse kit tex-mex, será que fica bom, aqui no brasil custa uns 300 conto esse kit, já no ebay não chega a U$ 70, como compro no ebay fica mole importar, sei que esse video tem mais de ano e provavelmente vc nem ve mais ele, mas se ver me dá um alô valeu.

@TheDarkJolteon Acho que se o som da guitarra não te agrada, não vale a pena trocar os captadores pq eles só refinam as características já existentes. Os captadores são como preciosos equalizadores na fonte sonora cuja função é dar vida/realçar determinadas frequências no som já existente. Neste caso o melhor é trocar para uma guitarra com características sonoras que te agradem , baseando-se no seu ouvido e não na madeira que a compõe. Boa sorte.

@GuitartubeBRA, obrigado pela resposta, como não entendo muito sobre como a composição do instrumento afeta a qualidade do som gosto de perguntar antes de fazer qualquer investimento, e muito obrigado por sua resposta.

For those of you who want to know about Tex-Mex pickups, ..they are bright and glassy, slightly thinner than other strat pickups in the midrange but have a nice bright glassy sound with lots of upper harmonics...they do not sound flat like cheaper PU's

Well. The pickups should sound amazing but they sound basic...Id say the guitar sounds maybe mexican if your lucky. The Agathis/pine body and weak neck structure made you waste your money on it.

glad you were able to discern all the subtle characteristics of wood from a youtube video with poor audio quality and a too-loud backing track.

what about the pickups sound basic? it sounds like operator error to me.

no its a standard. affinities do not come equipped with the 2 point tremolo or an 11 hole pickguard. (it's an 8 hole just like 1954-56 ) the headstock on this cat's guitar says "Squier STRATOCASTER''. the affinity just says ''Squier STRAT''.

TMMSfanCLUB 2 years ago 5

not necessarily. i have an affinity strat, and it's an 11-hole

EuphoriaMusicSession 2 years ago

@dpsource Wrong grasshopper, it's a standard as they have 22 frets and large cbs headstock!

These pickups sound very bright and punchy. I own them and they suck with solid state amps. if you want the full tone of these pickups get a tube amp in order to compensate. Tubes will fatten the tone. and another thing lower the pickups to keep the sustain. The magnets are too strong.

voce ja usou lace sensors? estou tentando decidir entre esses tex mex e lace sensor golds. sou americano mas morei um tempinho no brasil...os brasileiros tem mais talento de musica do que americanos, serio!

valeu cara!

roughly, how many watts of solid state is this the 5 watts the equivilant of?

tiddlywinks98712 3 years ago

Same value.

GuitartubeBRA 3 years ago

i am almost sure it isn't the same value because i was reading something about different size amps for different reasons and it compare a 30 watt tube to a 60 to 800 watt solid state

@tiddlywinks98712 just mike it up. like wattage doesn't matter.

I think that Tex-Mex delivers a nice bluesy/warm tone.

Is changing pickups hard to do? Would i need a soldering gun or any special tools to do it? Would I be likely to permanently damage my guitar while changing pickups? If you could answer these questions I would be very grateful.

GuitarGeek469 3 years ago

In order: Easy; soldering iron and screwdriver ; this procedure doesn´t damage the guitar. Good Luck.

GuitartubeBRA 3 years ago

do u know how loud 5 tube watts is in relation to solid state watts?. im asking u as ur name is 'guitargeek' lol, i just hope u know!

peace

tiddlywinks98712 3 years ago

I have only played through one tube amp before and I'm not sure how many watts it had. I used it in a small show for about 200 people and it worked fine which was surprising considering that it's speaker was only 10" I think. Hope that is helpful!

GuitarGeek469 3 years ago

Love that tone. I think I want some Tex Mex pickups now!
