Fender Tex-Mex Hot Telecaster Pickups Set (Set of 2)

Hotter Tele Response with Focused Alnico 5 Punch

The Fender Tex-Mex Hot Telecaster pickup set is an overwound SS configuration designed to deliver higher output while retaining traditional Tele articulation. With Alnico 5 magnets and a bridge DC resistance of 8.7k, the bridge pickup produces stronger midrange push and firmer low end than a typical vintage-wind Tele unit. That added output helps drive an amplifier into natural overdrive more easily, making it well suited to blues, rock, and country players who want bite with more authority.

The neck pickup, measuring 6.5k with 2.59 Henries of inductance, keeps warmth and clarity intact, providing rounded rhythm tones and smooth lead sounds without excessive muddiness. Flush-mount pole pieces promote even string balance and natural blending, contributing to the cohesive character associated with early Tele designs.

Polysol-coated magnet wire and vinyl-covered lead wiring support reliable installation and consistent performance. The overall voicing sits between vintage sparkle and modern drive, offering more edge and punch without sacrificing note separation.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this set is ideal for Tele players who want classic snap and twang with added midrange strength to push an amp harder for expressive, driven tones.
