René Martinez Texas Strat® Pickup Prewired Pickguard

Mojotone is excited and honored to have worked with such a renowned luthier to develop our Rene Martinez "Texas" Strat® Pickups.  These were developed to emulate that specific and unique "Texas Tone" which was inspired by the one and only SRV.

René Martinez was originally Stevie Ray Vaughan's hand-picked guitar tech. He also worked with Eddie Brickell, Mick Jones of Foreigner, Clint Black, Prince, The Moody Blues, Jimmie Vaughan, Carlos Santana, and currently John Mayer. You can find out more about his amazing career here. 

Mojotone prewired solderless pickguards are completely prewired to perfection with no soldering required. Just drop in and play. Our exclusive 7% tolerance CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, Mojotone Dijon capacitor, and CRL 5-way switch compliment the highest quality strat pickups ever made. Best of all, you can choose between the most popular Strat wiring schemes (Blender or Standard) that are simple to use and offer the best tonal options a Strat can have. 

The magnets are customized Alnico III in the neck and middle and Alnico V in the bridge to give a full and balanced tone. You get that clean, ultra clear neck and middle tone that lets your amp shape your tone, while the bridge pickup is hotter with more girth and punch, and a sonic clarity that cuts through with attitude. The coils are calibrated from neck to bridge for an even volume throughout the switching. 

Be the first in your town to own a set designed by such an acclaimed luthier. These come stock with staggered magnets with a raised D specifically for unwound 3rd string sets. Vacuum potted coils. 

All of our pickups and wiring harnesses are proudly built in Burgaw, NC!

Blender Control Functions: Unlike standard wiring, Blender wiring adds the option for all 3 pickups to be on at once and the ability to combine the neck and bridge pickups as much as you want.

  • Master Volume: Top Knob
  • Master Tone: Middle Knob
  • Blender Control: Bottom Knob

Standard Mod Control Functions: Standard strat wiring with no tone control for the middle pickup only. This reduces the load on positions 2 and 4 to only one tone pot, giving you a more clear and open tone when combining the neck/middle or bridge middle pickups. AKA the “EJ Mod”.

Note: Guitars made overseas may require you to enlarge the holes for the larger US spec pots to fit. You will also need to change the metric knobs to inch sized 24-knurl push-on knobs and the switch tip. See related items. If you have a non-Fender brand strat or overseas made strat, please verify the fit before purchasing.
