Billie Joe has a JB in his blue strat, Tom Delonge used an Invader in his sig. strat and a Gibson "Dirty Fingers" in his new gibson, I think Tim and Lars use stock pickups in their Les Paul/ES335's, Dave of Sum 41 uses stock Gibson/PRS pickups... so....

I actually think a C5/59 combo wouldn't be a bad choice, an Invader or Distortion might be a touch hot for an ES335 style guitar. What amp are you playing though?

another vote for the JB
I am a EMG man but the JB will do those tones with ease!

You'll want something with some spoink.

59 neck
C5, or JB bridge, as has been said.

That should do it, but if it's a little bright look into an

Seth, or A2P for the neck
Custom Custom bridge

yeah the C5 is another pup that has a good output and will do many styles like the JB
the JB just has more "richness" to it i guess

you dont need a neck p'up for that music. take it out, sell it, and draw a big yellow smiley face in the pickup routing hole. then go and buy c5 or jb.
