Even Fender's website doesn't say. Thank you.** A: It's nickel. **Q: Are there a true tex mex pups? they are super cheap. gc sells these for 159. how can these not bet a knock off? am i messing something?** A: THEY ARE VERY REAL.........IVE BOUGHT AROUND 10 DIFFERENT PICKUPS AT AMAZON.......ALL...HAVE BEEN THE REAL THING........AMAZON GETS A DISCOUNT FROM THE MANUFACTURER....THATS WHY THE PRICE IS SO CHEAP..........WATCH " SHARK TANK".......THEY EXPLAIN IT ALL....:) **Q: I dont see holes for the mounting / adjustment screws on the bridge pickup. does it mount the same way other tele bridge pu's mount?** A: there are little dimples on the pu.those are were the screws go. no pre drilled holes take a small drill bit and punch the dimples out. use a drill bit smaller than the screws. this will give the pu a good snug fit. I love the tone I get out of mine. I also put copper shielding in the cavaties to help prevent feed back. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ sound like a tele *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 June 2023* sound better than the noiseless pickups in my player plus telecaster, more like a tele should be, big improvement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tele twang sound. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 December 2025* I custom made a telecaster and these pickups added that texan twang I was after.Fantastic toneLong connectionsDiagram providedBad ground connection( my fault ) watched a video, fixed it, no humming even at high volume.Really pleased ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds Fantastic - but the wiring diagram needs updating *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 July 2024* I love these pickups, they sound amazing and I am really glad I went for them. One issue though, the bridge pickup has a very short earth lead (black) that I wasn't expecting and made it impossible to wire up as shown in the supplied wiring diagram. I thought this was a defect so returned them but the replacement was the same. I realised that the short earth is meant to join the bridge earth and not run back to the pot. Fender need to update the wiring diagram to show this as it is really confusing if you don't know you have to wire it differently. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fender Tex-Mex Telecaster Single-Coil Pickups - Set of 2 - Fender American Vintage Telecaster Strings-Through-Body String Ferrules - LAMSAM Fully Loaded Guitar Control Plate, Prewired 3-way Blade Switch Large Potentiometers Orange Capacitor, Knurled Volume Tone Controls Knobs Fit for Guitars with Single Coil Pickups, Chrome --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/52698540-tex-mex-telecaster-pickups-overwound-alnico-5-single-coil-set](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/52698540-tex-mex-telecaster-pickups-overwound-alnico-5-single-coil-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
