I wouldn't advise you to upgrade the pups as that what contributes most to the unique tone of these little beauties.To get rid of the pickups would make it just another parts guitar and kill any collector value of it as no Teiscophile would buy one without the original pups as they wouldn't consider it a Teisco.
