Any advice on what whould be outstanding pups to put in a nice Squire Std. Tele? Or should I leave well enough alone.

This thing is twangy and quite nice but I think the pups are cheap even though they sound good. Any advise as to what route to take?

I have seen some nice replacement pickups from some of the big companies, and then there is GFS. Even nice Fender ones are available.

I would like to get te adjustable height neck pup instead of the fixed height one on my Std.

However, it sounds great the way it is. Both pups seem to be doing a great job and it feels, plays, sounds great. Why mess with a good thing; if not only to make it better, which is always a gamble. Those Seymour Duncans and others seem to be nice though.

Advice appreciated,

Duffy

I have two other tele's: Peavey Generation EX's that sound really sweet and have two open coil pups, one in the bridge and the other in the neck where the chrome covered one usually resides. The bridge is especially nice sounding.
