I have an American Strat and I love the pickups (even though I play metal therefore I like Humbuckers more than S-C in general) and they are good for alot of styles. Unlike the notorious regular single coil, these pups output very little feedback even when my gain is driven all the way up. They are good pups and the good thing is, the older they get, the more warm, pure sound they output. And when playing with single coils, thats is THE sound what you want.

But on account that they are $125 you are obviously willing to spend some money on pups. So therefore, you might want to look into Fender Noiseless pickups. They are one of the really high end fender pickups and tonally surpass the American. They are a bit more like $129 (I think... which is only 4 bucks). They eliminate any noise from the amp and are played by alot of pros.
