FCS Josefina Hand-Wound Texas Special Loaded Pickguard

Hand-Would Fender Custom Shop Josefina Texas Special Pickups 
 
If you're chasing bold, expressive tone with a Texas-sized attitude, these rare Josefina Hand-Wound Texas Special pickups are the real deal. Built for players who demand clarity, heat, and dynamic response — this set is an instant tone upgrade.
 
Wound by Josefina Campos, Fender’s legendary Master Pickup Winder, these are not your average Texas Specials. Josefina is the trusted ear and hand behind Fender’s Custom Shop masterpieces, known for her attention to detail and unmatched tonal finesse. Her version of the Texas Specials takes that iconic overwound sound and elevates it — more bite, more bloom, and beautifully musical mids.
 
Custom Calibrated for Tone You Can Feel
To ensure a more even and dynamic feel across all positions, I’ve custom-wired the set with a subtle twist: the bridge pickup was swapped into the neck position to balance the output and transition more naturally through the switch. The result? A sweet, vocal-like neck tone, a punchy middle, and a biting yet articulate bridge — all perfectly calibrated to work together.
 
From glassy Hendrix-inspired cleans to gritty, responsive overdrive tones, these pickups sing. Whether you're after SRV sizzle or carving out your own sonic space, this rare Josefina-wound set delivers serious tone with Custom Shop pedigree.
