I have two strats and a spalted maple tele, I have played guitars as good, but none better than the spalted maple tele, but get this. I have a Burns Bison with Mex Strat pickups, and it sounds more like a Strat.......than a Strat if you see what I mean. The guy who suggested changing pickups around to see what sounds you can come up with is right, experiment until you find the sound you're looking for. Maybe the Burns sounds so good because it is quite a big meaty animal and resonates good.....I don't know, but the mex pickups are value for money, although I bought mine from a friend for £30.

I'm not 100% percent sure bout the pots, but if the pickups use a different pot, the pickups will come with it. Let me know, Danny Screws should all be the same.

Someone told me that the screws on the Mexican and American strats don't match up on the pick guard. Is this true if I want to replace the entire pickups, guard, and tuners? Also, are the pots that come with the Mexican strat compatible with the Vintage Noiseless pickups or do I need to change them as well? Thanks for the info.
