New Pickups

I have a Squire M77, which is a cheap les paul imitation, but the guitar is actually really comfortable and of decent quality. Anyways, I don't really like the pickups in it and I was wondering what kind of pickups I should replace them with. I want something that just sounds like the classic rock les paul sound, but I also want to be able to get a kind of Jerry Cantrell heavy sound as well. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB would be a good combo for you.

    Also Duncan 59's would be excellent.

    essentially there are thousands of choices.

    check them out at http://www.projectguitar.com go to references and then pickups.

    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Man...I dunno...all of the PUP's I'd recommend would end up costing more than the guitar :(
