some famous brands are seymour duncan, dimarzio. with your budget, you might need to look at the buy/sell area.. or you can try standardvalue. i think there's a rail humbucker for tele.. tesla i think.

everything <$100- would this include the pickup purchase itself?
I tink its quite impossible, considering that PUs go >100 almost every shop(brand are a factor). U can try 2nd hand PUs, but the downside is that u are unable to hear whether its works until u installed....

Its common practice to do that if you buy a guitar new, cause the strings might be rusty, and its not nice to let someone take a guitar with rusty strings home right? Basic customer service.
Most shops charge about $1.50 - $3 per string. Duh its not free. Its tough work ! But i think Mike does it since he's just nice enough to put your strings back after taking them out when installing your new pickup. -shrugs.

Arh, some, like davies, who charge my fren $15 just for changing a set of classical strings when he only asked to change the High E :mrgreen:

HI-5 very niceee....
I was in that sheet hole before :C just that mine was on the b string , but i had an even worst experience there.
I went to request for adjustment for my guitar which had a FR set up and guess what they simply tuned it up and changed my strings when i didn't even freaking break any, feeling unjust that they just changed the strings and charging me an extra 15 bucks i paid the total charge which included the service of 10 dollars adding to 25. upon reaching home i found out my guitar was out of tune and my bridge was partially sinking wth? -_-
ever since that experience I've stopped going to davis
-sry outta point-
Anyway errm single coil humbuckers and those hum like emgs/les pauls hums are they in anyway diff other then the looks?

Changing to a single coil size humbucker won't get u the 100% sound of a humbucker, it will still sound twangy but powerful.

its not that he doesn't know
he bought a single string, the High E, but the guy OFFERED HIM for a restring. In the end $15(restring charge) + $10(classical strings)...
scam king right?
