I put a set of the Keystones in my partscaster a while back and I they're the best Tele pups I've ever heard. Very clear and articulate with the right amount of marbles to make it just perfect. Like the best vintage Tele possible. Of course this is only my opinion but if you're looking for some replacements you should check them out. They are also available for Strats.....so Les should be happy. Some things you should know, Mr Lawrence has designed many of the Gibson and Fender pickups that came stock on these fine instruments. He has had a pickup company for longer than I have played (33 years and counting) but someone bought out the Bill Lawrence name and I don't hear very good things about they're products. Bill, not wanting things to stay in that state, started a company call Wylde (as in Wylde Bill) and is producing some very high quality stuff on a small scale. The great thing is, evidently it's not about the money because his stuff is beyond reasonably priced. I got a set of pups for the Tele including shipping for 62 bucks US. Give them a look if you get at chance.

Never heard of them, Found out a long time ago some of the best things are not big name brand. The price is sure right..

Had a look at his web site and some other reviews, he is certainly held in high regard by folks.
Shame he doesn't seem to do humbuckers.

Actually he does do hummers. He designed the ones for Dimebag. They're solid blade designs instead of individual pole pcs.

Then I had to find out who/what Dimebag is/was. Done that. Now perhaps you can tell me the difference between solid blade designed humbuckers and individual pole pcs. Then my quest for knowledge may be over....for now.
