I need your opinions of different 'drop-in' Strat replacements. My American Special will have Texas Specials. I may really like all 3 of them. I am bending toward a dual rail for Blues in the rhythm pos. I would appreciate any opinions from players out there that have some sound opinions. A hot but h'bucking lead pickup. Thanks.

It's important to select pickups that are each compatible with the volume pot's value and in some instances, that of the tone pots (especially where "creative" wiring/switching is involved). The 250K type is standard with most single-coil configurations and is simpatico with many aftermarket pickups. However, the situation may become muddied when noiseless or humbucker types are introduced into the mix.

Howdy Retro' Your info. is well taken. I figured that it's all noiseless, or change 'em all out. IF I feel that the Texas Specials in my Strat are not for me, I'll check back in.
