Hey people, wonderin' if you could help me out. Through craigslist I found a guy who will trade me a set of Fender Texas Specials (for Tele) for some other pickups I'm not using. Since they are used pickups, it occurred to me that I'm not sure I would know Texas Specials if I saw them. Having been burned on craigslist before, I thought I'd ask for help.
Are there distinguishing features on these pickups so I will know they are the pickups he says they are? For example, I've heard the neck pickup has 3 wires, is that right? And the bridge pickup has a copper base plate. But other than that, how can you ID them? Do they have any markings or logos anywhere?
I hate that I have to be so suspicious of folks these days. Anyway. I'm excited to try out these pickups, so thanks very much for your help in advance!
