I just re-did an HSS Strat and used 2 single coil Seymour Duncan SSL-1 for neck and middle and Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Humbucker in the bridge and I couldn't be happier.

I like it so much I may make the same change to my American Select (Mahogany) HSS Strat or possibly change it to 3 single coil Texas Specials, just for something different. (The Mahogany Strat has Tex-Mex single coils and a "Diamondback" humbucker, but it just can't compete with the SD SSL-1/Pearly Gates set-up)

I have used Texas Specials (for Tele) in my Tele w/Bigsby and was also happy with the change there.....very hot pickups!

Texas Specials are great for an over driven blues tone.
I had to buy another Strat to get the vintage under wound tone, rather than replace pickups.
