## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does everything come sealed and in genuine fender packaging?**
A: Yes,great pickups but the wires are slightly short .

**Q: Would these pickups be a good replacement for stock Mexican Fender trlecaster pickups? i.e. sound better?**
A: i actually put custom shop 51 nocaster pickups in my classic vibe tele.
they sound really great. the originals were good but a bit characterless and nothing special. Everything about the 51s is more, more clarity more tone more everything.
Would recommend.

**Q: Does the neck pickup cover have it’s own grounding wire or is it linked to the pickup return wire?**
A: It had its own.

much better on a stratocaster...plays ok on a Telecaster but didnt exactly give me goosebumps....there are more suitable pickups for a Telecaster....

### ⭐⭐ Had to return faulty
*by A***R on 8 April 2024*

I was looking forward to putting texas specials into my telecaster, easy to solder and very straight forward. However, the neck pickup had a fault which mean't the B & E string barely made any sound to my amp. The bridge pickup was excellent though. But I really wanted the neck pickup sound improvement but was disappointed. I ended up returning the whole thing. I bought as an amazon used warehouse deal so perhaps it was a previous faulty item just repackaged and attempted to be offloaded to a customer, but anyway I got my money refunded, but I had to reinstall my old pickups and redo strings, screws, pickguard a few times to troubleshoot and finally have the old ones back. If I was buying again I would buy new from the supplier and not warehouse deal.
