bang for bucks pickups with decent quality.

[wfswfs]

Hey all...
i have 2 guitar.

Squier sss strat n a hh tele.
Looking to change the pickups in a form of upgrade.

For the strat i was looking at the artec
vintage pickups for the neck n mid for a clean glassy tone and get a hotter single coil humbucker bridge for the bon Jovi stuff (richie sambora tone)

For the tele im thinking of a warm and saturated tone with clarity when packed with marshall gain.

Any inputs?

used duncan pups are plentiful and relatively inexpensive

+1 I was going to say the same thing - hit ebay and search around or the trading post on this site.

But for the tone what are good choices?

Also look for "Duncan Designed". I've never had a bad one. Musicians Friend sells a couple models new, and cheap.

Tonerider makes several tasty humbuckers. I have yet to try their single coil and bass guitar offerings.

I have a set of new Artec nickel-covered humbuckers I'll sell you for 30 bucks plus shipping.

I also have a used black DD HB-102N, which I think sounds way better than the Artec does.

As far as bridge humbuckers go, I have a high output Fender one that'd go well with the DD.

PM me if you're interested.
