Some Mexican pickups have ceramic magnets on the bottom.
That's different from US pickups, which use magnetic pole pieces.

yeah, theres not a major difference... my mexican strat came with noiseless pickups, which sounds great, but american pickups are great as well.... not much difference to my ear anyways (there is, but nothing to warrant a big price jump i dont think)

Various pups are used on the MIM Strats (JV, Cray, BG, Classics, Standards). You should check out the Fender Pickups and Accessories area for some more info specifically on pups:
