## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are they called 57/62 pickups if they are reverse engineered from a 63 strat?**
A: These were developed probably 30 years ago and at the time we had two Vintage Reissue Strats, the '57 and the '62. These pickups were used in both so that was the name given to them and we have never changed it.

**Q: Se envian a España en ese precio**
A: Read the shipping limitations

**Q: I ordered two sets. Great pups, but come with wrong large screws, for pickguards, not for mounting ?**
A: The larger bolts should be for mounting the pickups.

**Q: does the position of each pickup (neck/bridge) matter?**
A: I don't know, I've never tried the pickups in opposite positions. I would think that the wiring would be more the concern.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***. on 29 January 2012*

I bought these from here and installed them into a very cheap B stock guitar I bought online. The guitar was very flawed up but had a decent looking finish. It features a very cheap alder body, cheap bridge, nut and tuners, and terribad fret job on a very poor quality maple/rosewood neck that would make the most adept luthier fret. I completely re-did the frets and put some heavy 58-12 strings on the guitar with these pickups. I also tried them with Ernie Ball 10's and they sound amazing, so you don't need to use "barb wire" strings and absurdly high action, but it does improve the tone. And it's the SRV tone we're all after, right? Getting to the point: these are the best pickups I have ever heard. I have 57-62 which I love. I have almost every major guitar ever made. Alnico 3 and 5's galore. 54's, 69's, Custom shop, Ceramics, crunch, p90's -- you name it. These are the best. My experience was extremely fast shipping, great customer service and a wonderful product that I love so much. Total price for my guitar was right around $220 bucks and it easily beats my $2000 dollar strat. I'm not the bright bulb in the world so if *I* can do this, *YOU* can too. I will add this: I've been playing guitar for 33 years. Putting it mildly, I have never been impressed with Tex Mex pickups but I LOVE these Texas Specials. I never thought anything would outshine my 57/62's but these do. I can't recommend these pickups enough.
