I think it will be a regular Texas Special - they come in a "Custom Shop" box, but I doubt it's a "custom-made" pickup. 

So just a hot vintage Tele pickup, basically.

Good news, managed to find a used one for £750 going to collect later on today. One thing is that the guy has taken the Chopper T stacked humbucker out of the bridge and put a fender custom shop Texas special in place of it. Has anyone got experience of these pickups? I think I might be on the market for a chopper T or some kind of replacement as I want to be able to get sound dirty sounds out of it.


was this the one in Twinfan's custom shop Esquire.. because if so its a great pickup!

That was a BG1400 lead stack. Ridiculously high output - I think when Dave measured the output it was around 28k  :o It is a great pickup though!
I think I hate being indecisive.
