Re: What PUPS do you recommend?

The Fender Custom Shop Texas Special as shown here look like flatpoles.

Given that this pickup is different than the type apparently normally found in this model, I'd be interested to find out more details about it. Like whether it has a baseplate, what its DC resistance measures out to be. I like these pickup mysteries.
Yegbert - I'm about to do my customary work on any new guitar that arrives - dress the edges of the frets (the frets themselves are perfect), adjust the intonation (although with the 'stock' strings on it is spot-on), and replace the stock strings with my favourite D'Addarios.

As soon as I've got the strings off I'll take out both pups and take some detailed pics, which I will post on here as soon as I can. Keep your eyes open for my response!
