Hey All,
I just picked up an MIJ 62 Deluxe Tele body from a fairly well-known Fender parts seller on the auction site. It was listed as having Texas Special PUPs.
I pulled the guard and plate and the wires are thin enamel, flat pole-pieces (bridge), and the pots are small and marked "Japan." Also two small, brownish, pillow-shaped caps (one bridges the two pots), and a white plastic switch housing.
So...are these PUP's Texas Specials? Honestly, I don't care that much because I have some Baja PUP's I am going to put in (and these sound nice), but I would like to let these folks know about it because they sell a lot of stuff.
Thanks all.

Sounds like it's all as per spec, but some pics would help a lot :wink:

Here is a set...

Thanks for the response. I don't have the guitar with me but I'll try tomorrow. The wires in the picture you linked are cloth covered, so...there's that. I understand that the most recent incarnation of these have enamel covered wire, but...these are really thin and that leads me to believe that they may be MIJ PUP's. I have no problem with that in an of itself, but...that wasn't how it was listed, so...
Anyway, I'll see if I can get some pix soon.
