Seymour Duncans and Dimarzio will most likely be the two brands that people would put in. The little 59's (SD) are good pickups. go to the websites and listen to the sound bites, they will give you a slight idea. Also looks at the charts to see the responses and the output the pickups give. this will give you a good understanding of what the pickup is going to do.
