Well...couple of things. If you want to keep the $ down, there are lots of Fender "take-outs" on eBay all the time. The Classic Series
stock pickup set is very good and you can find them there all the time, for not a big outlay - maybe $35/set. Two others I like, that aren't crazy expensive are the Fender Texas Specials and Duncan
Alnico Pros. I have (or have had) all three of these in various guitars and have been pleased with them. What I like about the Duncans, is that they have all the tone, but take a little of the brittleness out of the bridge pickup, which, unless you play real hard-core country-twang, is probably a good thing.
