I put these in my Mex Strat which is about 12 years old and with no other electrical modifications I thought they were great. I get a huge range of sounds just by turning my volume knob up and down and they have plenty of bite. I like strat pickups to have a little more output than stock but not too much to where you lose certain overtones.

1. By June we will hopefully be enjoying warmer and sunnier weather, which makes it the perfect time to take radio controlled toys out for a spin. Some of the most popular products at the moment are radio control helicopters, rc planes and remote control trucks. The Eflite Blade mCX2 Radio Control Helicopter is a great ultra micro-sized rc helicopter ideal for flyers of all skill levels, and comes ready to fly, with no assembly required – simply put in the battery included and start practicing. Every Blade mCX2 is test flown and trimmed before leaving the factory, so the path to success for first time flyers is assured. The radio control helicopter default settings are set to the level of control, speed and agility suitable for a complete novice, but these can be changed to enable the heli to perform at higher speeds and with more agility as ability levels and confidence grow in the pilot.
2. If you think flying a plane is more to your dad’s liking, the Hobbyzone Champ RTF radio control plane is a great Father’s day gift idea. The micro sized rc plane offers the chance to recreate the early days of aviation. Constructed from injection moulded foam the Champ is very easy to control and is ideal for flying indoors or under calm weather conditions, and the on-board Fender® Special Run 72 Telecaster Thinline – White Blonde Finish 6-string electric guitar with gig bag radio system equipped with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2 technology means no signal inference wherever you are. The plane’s lightweight and durable construction also means it’s easy to fly in small spaces without the worry of crash damage.
3. The Tamiya 1/14 MAN TGX 26.540 6×4 XLX is one of the most sophisticated radio control trucks on the market. The 1/14 scale aerodynamic rc truck is precisely reproduced, with front grill features mesh material, a cabin that tilts forward separately from fenders and realistic fender interiors and exteriors. Using a Type 450 motor, this Tamiya remote control truck is controlled by a 4-channel transmitter to allow gear shifting and front and rear suspension through metal leaf springs and coil spring dampeners.
4. Meccano Sets make great gift ideas for children of all ages, and will surely make your dad reminisce of his own childhood. The Meccano Special Edition 1930′s Vintage Set is an affordable set that casts a nostalgic eye back at the early days of Meccano. The set includes plans for 4 different models, but with over 100 parts included in this construction set, there are limitless possibilities for what you can build. The Special Edition Meccano Set comes in a vintage style box.
5. Retro Toys have recently become back in style again, thanks in no part to the James May’s Toy Stories TV show. One of the most popular brands of retro toys is Scalextric, the de facto standard in slot racing cars and sets. New to 2010 is the Scalextric Aston Martin DBS Green DPR. A highly detailed Scalextric car, it has a detailed and intricate body shell, working front and rear lights and is digital plug ready, which will allow you to convert it from standard to digital in effortlessly with the C8515 Digital Plug.
6. Another popular brand of retro toys is Hornby Railways. The Hornby Railways Railroad BR Mallard Class A4-DCC Fitted accurately recreates a real life steam locomoive in its BR Green livery with a pristine finish and comes fitted with a DCC decoder. As part of the Hornby Railroad range, it is fitted with an efficient drive mechanism and pickups on all drive wheels to ensure smooth running and without the easily damaged detail parts of some of the higher end models.
7. Diecast models are also great gift ideas for Father’s Day. One of the most popular at the moment is the Corgi Scania R Fridge Trailer Eddie Stobart of the Hauliers of Renown collector’s model range, which can be collected and displayed together.
8. Also hotly tipped is the 1/12th scale Minichamps Joey Dunlop Honda VFR 750 RC45, released on the 14th of June, just in time for Father’s Day. Featuring removable fairing, movable steering damper, working suspension and racing stand, it is sure to be a hit with racing enthusiasts.
9. Airfix and Tamiya are well known for their quality plastic models, with both manufacturers supplying a wide range products that make great Father’s Day gift ideas. The Airfix 1/350 HMS Illustrious Gift Set and Airfix 1/72 Dambusters Gift Set accurately recreates the real life British Royal Navy vessel and Lancaster bombers, respectively and come with all the paint and glue required for assembly.

    THIS IS THE WRONG FFFFING PICTURE!!!! CAN”T YOU GUYS GET YOUR ADS RIGHT? ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR MONTHS!!!

  • DeHart :

    Amazing set of pickups… i just couldn’t believe it when my luthier gave me my guitar back… wow… Totally recommend them.

  • Kiley :

    The Texas Special pickups I received to replace the stock Stratocaster pickups were noticibly different in appearance right out of the box. The stock pickup windings are copper in color and the Texas Special windings are dark brown.

    I de-soldered the original pickups and re-soldered the Texas Specials following the instructions included in the packaging. The installation went without a hitch and frankly was easier that I had expected. I had a little trouble with my old soldering gun since it did not want to heatup to the temperature the solder required. But, after waiting a while the old gun started working and I was on my way.

    After installing the new Texas Specials I went back with a medium weight set of DAddario strings. To be honest I really don’t hear a huge difference in sound during recording using headphones. It is only after plugging into my old Gibson tube amp and cranking up the volume that you can begin to hear a little deeper growl from the pickups.

    I was not impressed with these pickups and would advise prospective buyers to shop around before spending $140.00 on the Texas Specials.

    If you are going to replace your old pickups,in your low end Strat, with Texas specials you need to change the pots,switch,and the capacitor. Stewart-MacDonald (stewmac.com)has the replacement parts kit. The older strats didn’t have the cheap parts in them like they do today. And the cheap parts will keep your strat sounding like crap no matter what pick-up you put in them.

    I have done the whole electronics makeover on my Squier and it does not matter which amp I plug into…it shreds.
