I hate to be the one to sound like an ass. But, does anybody use the Search function? Do you know how many threads there are about-what kind of pickups should I get? It's crazy! Seriously though, you should go to your guitar shop and play different guitars with different pickups so you can hear the tone with your own ear. There is no way that someone else can honestly tell you what pickup is best for you. I like the EMG 81/85 set. Other people like P-90's, some folks like burstbuckers. It's all personal preferance. Also, some of the websites will have soundclips of what their pickups sound like. I know EMG does. Try that route too.
