I'm looking at doing a bit of work on a tele copy that I picked up recently, but I'm stuck regarding the p'ups. There are a bewildering number of options, and prices varying from pocket money to second mortgage. I'm looking for direct drop ins - I don't want to do any woodwork, and £100 is about top whack, but options at £50 would be welcome, and it's a traditional Tele sound I'm after. I also need some new machines as the stock ones are hopeless, and similar suggestions of suppliers and suitable replacements all welcome. Thanks!

I have used Ironstone pickups in a Tele I had, ----the Vintage alnico V ones and they sounded great!
Check out their site;

The Fatboy (Fatbody?) neck pickup from Guitarfetish is a terrific pickup for the money - much more like a Strat neck pickup.

I had this in one of my Teles along with a Fender 52 RI bridge - it sounded superb.
