The main issue is that for someone that has not been accumulating guitars over ones lifetime the various comments are obviously from people with lots of experience and guitars - it was difficult to make a decision.

I came up with this:-
Anyway seems the Tonerider pickups would be ok - bearing in mind the guitar only cost £89 back in 1994 (I think)
I picked these out from the Pickups thread.
