would recommend using humbuckers, many on here sell their own custom single coil or  humbucker pickups, or CB Gitty's online store, the ones i use are from Nation member Elmar Zeilhofer from his Klangbox website,

Thanks, those seem to sound really good. I may end with one of these, if i cannot find anything a little cheaper (my student's bank account speaking)!

I like the rail type minihumbuckers - cheap and look good with all string numbers as there are no bobbins to line up.

It is coil tappable.

Often if you search for voucher codes you can get 5% or 10% off (they send from Hong Kong so takes 3 or 4 weeks to arrive and you need to keep below the import duty allowance.)
