I haven't been too happy with the sound of my strat.
I liked it when I bought it, but after a few years of little play, I broke it out again. The pickups, American Strat Single-Coil Pickups, seem thin and don't cut through.
I will play with the height first, but they seem pretty high already. I am interested in a hotter set of pickups that still have nice cleans, but take distortion well. I want single coils, not stacked humbuckers.
I have been looking at texas specials and the deluxe drive pickups. I would like to keep the strat all Fender.
I'm sure lots of you have or tried texas specials, but how about the deluxe drive pickups?
I play a mix of everything, but lean towards the classic rock end of things. I don't play metal, so over the top pickups aren't for me.

The claim on the fender site is that the deluxe drive pickups are the pickups on the highway 1. So look up reviews for that guitar.

Cool. Thanks. I'll check it out. Maybe I'll stop by the shop sometime to see if they have one in stock. I called to see if they had the pick up set, but its not in their system yet.
