I have a 50th ann. American delux strat, when I bought it used a few years back,the previous owner had installed texas special pick-ups but included the original VN pick-ups with the deal.I like the bite the TS's have but would I get a better overall tone if I re-installed the original VN pick-ups? Also the previous owner took out the s-1 switching and wired it traditional.any one have any insight on wether or not I should go back to s-1 or keep traditional? pro's or cons??

Welcome.

You're going from one end of the spectrum to the other. The VNs are weak, trebly pickups, yet humbucking; the TSs have a bit of muscle and grunt but are not humbucking.

As to whether you should choose the S-1 system or not, that's up to you. Some love it while others have absolutely no use for it. If you do choose to go with it, consider that some of the selections will noticeably increase the hum of single coil pickups, in your case, the TSs.
