I have had this in the closet for about 25 yrs now, I know it needs rewired and some new electronics but the Guitar itself is in real nice condition,
Not sure if I want to go back to the original pickups or go with something else, I don't think the value on the guitar is ever going to be high but it does play pretty good.
Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should put in it?
Thanks

A non-intrusive mod (ie: totally and tranparently reversible) would be to install a pair of Strat or Strat-sized pickups in it. For a traditional Fender vibe I'd go with a Texas Special at the bridge and the middle pickup from the Fat 50's set in the neck. For heavier tones, consider some of the double-stacked coils from Seymour-Duncan or DiMarzio -- both offer some real screamers whose output levels approach that of humbuckers.
