Pickup Suggestions

I'm currently putting together a tele based on a '58 and was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions for a pickup set? Maybe I'd be best just going with the Fender AV '58'?

    I can attest to the quality of Bare Knuckle in general as well as their good customer service.

    I've never tried their Tele ones specifically but they have decent sound clips on their website for each one, usually playing the same riffs so the models can be compared.

    Entwistle pickups are fantastic value. He works around 57 / 58 / 62 sounds plus some more high gain options. 

    The stock levels seem low online, I'm not sure I'd this is due to re-branding as mentioned on his website or something else. 

    Best pickups I've ever owned.

    Mojo pickups
    Oil city
    Alegree
    Novak's
    Lollars

    And a bunch more. You are spoilt for choice

    I wouldn't get the fenders personally
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I've decided to go with a set of OC Duff whiteguards. I've been in contact with Owen and he's making them as period-correct as possible. Thanks again
