WTB: Cheap pair of humbucker-sized pickups

What's Hot
I'm on the lookout for a cheap pair of humbucker-sized pickups in order to resurrect a 335-style guitar that's been in it's case for the last year. Ideally I'd like either a pair of humbucker-sized P90's or vintage PAF-style humbuckers, but right now all things considered.

So, what have you all got?

    Q1 - What colour is the metal hardware on your guitar?
    Q2 - What is the string spacing at the bridge saddles?
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    I have an Axesrus Purist bridge humbucker and a Late 50s humbucker size P90 neck for sale. Black covers and gold pole pieces which looks really cool on a darker guitar or pickguard (I had them in a cherry SG with black pickguard) - would want £65 posted for the pair.

  • Thanks all for the replies.

    @roskki - thanks. I don't know anything about Wizard pickups, so I'll have to do some research

    @TTBZ - the guitar I want to put them in is white, but it has black control knobs, so that could look quite cool. Also, I like the humbucker/P90 pickup combination (being a bit of a Neil Young fan). Do you have any pictures?

    @Winny_Pooh - sounds good, but I would need to find a suitable bridge PU

    @funkfingers - ideally I was looking at spending less than £50. I would be open to spending more, but it depends on Mrs. W.

    I’d be interested if these don’t go to the OP. Are they vintage spec?

    I have about 30 sets of them.
    They're not vintage recreations. They have short legs and 4 conductor wiring. The wind will put them in the vintage-like zone though.
