There is a huge discrepancy in your request. A Broadcaster style pup is very different sounding than a mid 50's pup, and a both sound different as compared to a 60's style pup. I think you will have to narrow your scope some to find what you want...or buy several pups.

I am with yegbert...I like the SD pups too. The Broadcaster will get you an ealy 50's sound. The 54 and Antiquities will get you a mid to late 50's sounds. I feel the Alnico II pro is kind of a soft 60's sound.
