I have Texas Specials on my homemade Strat, and it is normal to hear hum or buzzing in these 1-3-5 positions.
It's the same for all sigle-coils pick-ups, and it is better or worst depending on the shielding in your guitar, and where you are playing it.
I know that I have a bad spot in my house with a lot of electrical wires in the walls. So when I don't want too much of that noise, I go elsewhere in the house.
That's the price to pay to have the sound of single-coils...
