DiMarzio's. Go for the X2N. It's $75 bucks but I'm sure you can get that. Personally I would start saving up for a better guitar.

Woah that's probably the longest sentences in history....

Anyways, get a Dimarzio X2N like the guy above me already mentioned, or get an EMG85. But I'm not really sure about it's price though, you can probably get it for 80 american.

And like the guy above me already said as well, I would save up for a better guitar.

Yo! M7S! The 85 is active, bro. If this question is posted in the beginner section I doubt TS will have the knowledge to fit an active EQ in his guitar.

I've heard the DiMarzio X2N mentioned often; I have no idea how it sounds, though. Two other good choices are the Seymour Duncan JB for the bridge (an all-around humbucker used by everyone from blues to metal); or a Seymour Duncan Jazz for the neck (a pickup that's great for cleans and smooth drive). I would rather save up for a better guitar, though, if I were you. In fact, I did, and I now have a MIM Strat that I love as-is. :thumb:
