I have a '06 HW1 and I am thinking about changing the pick-ups as I find the sound to be "too little classic Fender-sound". Can anyone tell me what to buy?

Christian,
Pick ups are like cars. There are lots of choices and several manufacturers. You need to define the sound you're looking for before you ask an open ended question like that ... You'll get a hundred different responses.

I suggest looking at these websites just google them. Seymour Duncan. They explain in detail the mechanics of the pick up, how it works and how its made. It is very educational. Dimarzio is another. Fender offers pup upgrades as well. There are many boutique manufacturers that make quality pups but you pay a quality price...

PS: It might not be the pups what kind of amp are you playing thru? That is probably more important than the pups.
