Fender SSS loaded pickguard texas special

A buddy of mine found out I was palying guitar and droped off a little gift for me. Very cool of him.

Has anyone every played with this set up.

I am pretty sure I am going to put it into my strat. Right now I have some Johnson emg’s that came with this body.


I decided to swap them out and do some fret work.

Went to put the new one in and I suddenly realized my solder iron is in our storage room. :upside_down_face: Denied!!

:rofl:

Edit: Wierd zodiac killer symbols inside. I will add to them.

Looks good. Way beyond my skill level.

About those signs… How old is your guitar exactly? And how did you get it? :crazy_face:

I have put the same pickups in 2 strats I’ve owned, I loved the sound which gives a really versatile tone good for clean jangle sound (U2) and distorts well when used for that too

On my 2nd strat those pickups were first on my shopping list

Soldering is not too hard really, just needs some ‘buy once’ stuff and a little practice. The im going for it attitude helps too. Since all my stuff is cheap, If I mess it up im not too worried. If I could fix the damage on my acoustic and feel as comfortable with that ttpe of repair as I do this, It would be great. :rofl:

Very cool. I was hoping I would hear something like this. Thansk for commenting. All the components look better and the wiring is much cleaner so that already a bonus.

What a cool gift my buddy gave me, I am very thankful.
