What were the stock Strat PU'S for an 91 Am Std Strat?

They seem to had more output/ work better for gain than any of the more modern strats I was testing out. The Bridge Single coil especially avoided all those stereotypical thin strat bridge sounds and sounded nice and full.

There was a time when they used to have a model called x1, those were higher output single coils with non stagered polepieces, with quite a bit of bite.
I'm not sure if they were used in '91 though, could be in the 80's.

Pretty sure the X1 was used on the early and mid 80's, it was originally one of the features of the smith strat in the early 80's.

I have an 89 american standard, the original pickups have been sitting in a box for the last 20 years or so, perhaps I need to reevaluate them. But I found the bridge pickup to be overly bright, and I wasn't happy with the midrange, at the time. They were basic ceramic single coil pickups.

I replaced them with texas specials, just like everyone else at that time was doing. I still use the guitar today for leads with the same pickups, I love them for rock.
