SORTED WTB - inexpensive PAF-type humbuckers

pottolompottolom Frets: 115
edited March 2017 in Parts £
I'm looking for some humbuckers for my stoptail ES335 clone (Tokai ES60) to replace the stock pickups.

Something vintage (i.e. PAF-style) voiced, with Alnico magnets, but as the guitar wasn't too expensive in the first place, I'd like to keep cost under £50 for a pair.

It's important that they're warm-sounding, and not hot.

Oh, and I'm looking for pickups with chrome or nickel covers

Anyone got anything suitable that they want to sell?

    I don't currently have these but do have a look at the Vanson 57s at vanson guitars or their ebay page, fantastic quality alnico 2 and come in around 8.5kohm.
    Warm yet articulate, and sound great with a touch of valve drive, cheap as chips and under your budget new. 
    I'll be getting another pair soon.

    Right. I've gone ahead and ordered some Tonerider Alnico IV Classics after realising they're only £62.95 on Amazon for a pair......
