ronkirn left out a few important things.The value of volume and tonepots and different alnico bar magnets.
Anything over 300k (and 250k is the standard for pots and single coils) brings too many high frequencies with it.The cap on the tonepot is also very important. 047 recommended.Secondly, like another post, alnico 3 bar looks like a good option for the bridge. Lindy fralin has a 1/2 and 1/2 option with a mix of alnico 5 and 3. I'd go for even more overwound.10% (around 9.5k), but always in conjunction with the right type and value neck pickup. I myself have an ash tele w sd minihb in the neck, p90 in middle and lindy fralin 10% overwound bridge pup, and the tone pot only on the bridge pup.
