    Hi Moo, I would recommend a Tonerider Hot Classics or Vintage pickup set ($99 from the PBG shop). Tuners I'd get Grovers (start at $22/set or $45 locking tuners at PBG shop).
    If the budget allows a bone nut is a definite and recommend a bridge upgrade, the Babicz are very good but pricey. Have a look on Realparts website and have a look at something like a Wilkinson bridge are good value for money

    EDIT another budget option is a 6 saddle bridge but note it's a string through so you will have to drill through the body and get 6 string ferules

    Cheers Wokka. I forgot to say, I have already bought a bone nut
    I have heard good things about toneriders, so hopefully I can find the money to fork out.
    But where on earth can you find grovers for $22?! The cheapest I can find is around $60... And unfortunately all tuners in the PBG shop have to be bought at the same time as a kit (they have some deal which makes them cheaper)...
