Does anyone have or know what the specs are on a strat Texas special middle PU, wind direction, polarity etc... I have to build one to match a Texas special bridge pu a customer has. I have never even had one come through my hands so I know zip about them and I don't think the fender website gives the details. Thanks for your help.

6.4K Ohms DCR and North up with a CCW wind.
Essentially, neck and middle have same DCR with the bridge at 7.4.
I have seen these vary a little.sigpic Dyed in the wool

Spence always get there first! Even when Sam was milkman, Spence always just leaving as I arrive. Spence right too. Middle pickup north up, top right, top going, alnico 5. Reverse wind/porarity to neck and blidge pickups. Some early Texas specials have 42 wire on neck and middle and sound much better than the newer 43.Last edited by Sam Lee Guy; 12-11-2007, 01:44 PM.

Thank you Spence and Sam Lee Guy. So the older ones were 43 and the newer ones are 42 PE. I wonder when exactly the started using 42 and stopped the 43.
I guess I'll just wind it north up, top right going away with 42 PE and see what happens. If he has the 43 wire ones it may clean up the #2 and 4 positions. I heard they were quite muddy and the only usable tones were the bridge and neck but mostly the neck.

just kidding, I do think I'm getting a tad dyslexic in my older years. Can that happen when you get older or is it a problem you have from a young age
