I haven't checked out their website but the 60s bridge pickup sounded great for blues while it was in my friends guitar. It was an esquire so I can't help you on a neck pickup I've heard in person, but I hear the fatbody or whatever it's called neck pickup is nice.

Hey man I've got three Teles loaded with GFS single coils. These 3 below I have experience with and they are all really great pups for Blues and Rock as they sound good dirty as well as clean. Don't be deceived by the low prices - I'd buy them for 2-3 times the price they sell at; as they're real friggin' good.

Hot Lead for bridge: http://store.guitarfetish.com/hotlealovteb.html (these are an awesome pup - twang when clean but you get a great grind with an od sound - pretty decent output without being too over the top).
Repro Vintage for neck: http://store.guitarfetish.com/revialtenepi.html (you can take the cover off these and get more top end - sounds cool either way but I have mine uncovered right now and it allows you to get some bite out of the neck position).
Alnico Tele Neck: http://store.guitarfetish.com/altenepiclch.html (nice warm sound for mellow Jazz and Blues tones - very buttery with od).

I LOVE the Fatbodies. I play the lower output version and they absolutely smoke. The neck pickup is incredible.

+1 I have a set of Fatbodies in a tele I built.. it's my #1 guitar. I think you'd have to spend a lot more money on hand-wound boutique pickups to find somethig that sounds better than these.

Fatbodies!

Definitely fatbody. I had one in my tele for a while, but I replaced it for a jerry donahue.

I like the vintage alnico bridge and fatbody neck.

[SSol28]

haha i can't decide between the fatbodies and the repros!!

[SSol28]

So i got a question for all you, would i need to swap out my current 1 meg pots to 250 or 500 if i get new pick ups or is that just for noiseless pickups?

If you have 1 meggers now, I would change those out for good quality 250K audio taper pots.

Actually, I'd do that now, see how the single coils you have in the guitar or laying around sound first.
