Hi I'll buy a squier tele and with I'll buy a set of pickups to take out the stock's one (I know some say it is worthless... but whatever) so I was thinking... special texas, original or noiseless? I know it depends from what you play, the problem is that I play to diferent types of music and I want my tele to be really versatile... I play alternative rock (like foo fighters, paramore...) and I play blues, well at least I try, and I want my tele to fit in both styles... what you wold recommended me?

I'll apreciate any help

And anything will be an improvement over stock.

The artists you mentioned are more high gain players so I'd maybe consider a Seymour Duncan Lil' 59 in the bridge.

Seymour Duncan Custom Shop "Pearly Gates" for the bridge, think ZZ Top. Is the Squire Tele neck routed for a humbucker? If not go for Vintage Stack, Hot Stack or a 5/2 Stack for the neck. Those choices will be a little mellower for your blues stuff than say a rails type pickup. Remember you may need to do some electronic upgrades and/or changes with the dual coil type pickups for better tone. These are only suggestions, research will be key in finding what works for you.

my suggestion would be the setup I have in my tele, A seymour duncan humbucker in the neck and a Bill Lawrence single coil rail in the bridge.

IMHO I would go with the Noisless. They are quiet, have a good all around tone, sounds good for blues, and won't break the bank.

Enjoy
