Hey all i had some questions on replacing the pickups in my American Deluxe SSH strat. First i was wondering if im replacing the middle and neck pick ups should i bother buying a set of 54 fender custom pickups? I heard that the only one that is affected majorly is the bridge. Also i was wondering is it worth it to take out the humbucker and put a single coil in and what i would need to do to do that. Thanks in advance.

If you do replace the Humbucker with a single coil...intrested in selling? Just joking.

Replacing the Humbucker will take away some of the attack of the way the pick up uses the distortion (less Crunchy). I have a SSS configuration on my HWY 1 and like it; however, you could change the tone of your guitar to something you may not want. (plus I do not have the S-1 switching on mine and I am not sure what that would do to yours.)

Youu'll have to take a close look at the wiring for the deluxe HSS and the Deluxe SSS as they're not similar....
