Need help picking pups for my ES-335 copy a.k.a Rally Big Apple

[BleepLoads]

I've had my Rally Big Apple for over a year now and I'm glad I've grown into it. It's a great bang for buck guitar that I bought 2nd hand and have no regrets since. It's not the greatest guitar but I'm glad to say, I wanna keep this baby till I die. I wanna upgrade the 2 humbucker pickups on this guitar but I don't where to start. I want to go for a rock/jazz/bluesy tunes and definitely not metal. Basically something versatile. Of course, I'm definitely concerned with the budget. Probably below $150.

Duncan's Alnico II Pro set would deliver the tones you require

Couple of good pickups for your taste:

- Gibson '57 classic
- Duncan '59 (blues set)

If you are not chasing for those so-called "vintage" tones and you like pick-ups which can give you the natural tones that your guitar can give you and with clear notes definitions and good sustain, you might want to try a pair of Lace Alumitones humbuckers (not the Deathbuckers). Love em...
