Follow up to my moddding Tele thread, for those of you guys who have replaced new pick up (s) into your Tele, what are some favorites?
I'm looking for a pick up that'll give me more sustain and growl, more high gain , yet still retain that Tele spank. Been looking into the Sey Duncan minihumbucker, also EMG and Bare Knuckle Tele pups, but haven't come across something that'll give the incentive to drill a humbucker slot into my stock Tele yet.

I just ordered a SD Vintage Mini Humbucker and a SD Broadcaster set.
Yet to install, but I have used the latter before and it is a great tele bridge pickup.
You can get the broadcaster on ebay with free shipping to Canada.

Here's a click of the Budz 42 and Tall pickups. So far they are my favorites.

For more "beef" while still retaining classic Tele bridge tone I like Don Mare's 0038. It's like an early Fender Champian lap steel pickup that was used in the original Broadcaster11k +.
When you get into buckers you get further away from the traditional Tele tone.
