What don't you like about the original ones? Everyone has different ideas about what they want from a pickup. Are you after higher output? Harder tone? Softer tone? Fatter tone?

If you want something hotter try some Texas Specials. Or I often see Wilkinson pickups on ebay going really cheap. Don't know if they'd be an improvement over standard though as I don't know much about them.

I've got a standard Tele and am toying with the idea of a mini humbucker at the neck. Quite happy with my bridge PU.

Cheers.

For pickups, take a look at Jason Lollar's website www.lollarguitars.com , you would also benefit from changing the capacitor to a paper in oil type, www.angela.com
