I've got an American Special Tele with Texas Special pickups which is a lovely guitar. The neck pickup actually sounds ace but the one in the bridge has a lot of midrange and a sort of chocked top end which works well for a number of things but isn't what I am always looking for so I've been thinking about swapping them for something a little more "vintage sounding". So far, I seem to like best the Seymour Duncan Antiquity set (AlNiCo 2 and it costs a lot!) but I was wondering what else is out there that I perhaps should be looking at?
I realise I'll probably get lots of different opinions on this but if anyone is familiar with options might fit the bill, please let me know? Cheers.

The Mojo Tele/Broadcaster sets also sound terrific in the traditional vein.
@McToot has just spent some time with them and I think he liked them too
On Antiquity 1 and II replacement pickups for Stratocaster, there is also a magnetic polarity difference to allow for.
The only other set I've really liked before were the BKP Brown Sugars, but they were a bit more beefy...
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder
My trading feedback - I'm a good egg
Mojo broadcaster set > the rest

It seems a shame that it's quite hard to find decent demos of the Mojo stuff. Seems weird to me that they don't at least provide some themselves.
