I used to be a compulsive pickup replacer. I usually had a set of pickups picked out when I bought the guitar. Then, I learned about how to adjust 'em. Now, I only replace pickups when I find the stockers lacking, and usually only buy pickups for a new build.

I'm with you on the MIM neck pickup issue. I can highly recommend the DiMarzio Twang King. It's the best Tele neck pickup out there other than the boutique or custom winds.

I do have a Chandler Hot 50s Tele bridge pickup in my pickup drawer for when I get tired of the stocker in my Esquire, which may not be for a long time.
