I'm looking for this sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zwWwikF3vI

I know this is the RS Fender USA, which has a really great sound.

Will the sound of my Mexico be like that when I change the single coils to Fender Texas Specials? Anyone did this and made good experiences? Or is it the wood and the bridge which makes the sound so bad like it is?
It will definately sound better if you put a Paf Pro in the bridge and 2 Texas Specials single coils on the guitar.

I've had one with that setup and it's the only guitar I ever regretted selling.
