I've been gushing about the Mustang Special here since picking one up, particularly those pickups. I was all set/budgeted to switch 'em out if they sucked but they're some of the coolest HBs I've heard in a Fender, ever. Captures the character of a Fender, something not many coil taps can pull off, plus there's not a shitload of volume loss or noise when switching.
FINALLY, FENDER DOES HUMBUCKERS RIGHT!
Sorry, I've probably said all this before but it's nice that people are finally getting a chance to try 'em out, bitching guitars for sure.
