the cunife humbucker set costs as much as the guitar
The Fender reissue set does, but you can get a CuNiFe set from Mojo for a bit less, or a set from Creamery for another bit less.
The Creamery pickups don’t have CuNiFe pole pieces, but they are pretty splendid. My mate had a set in a 70s Thinline Tele and, after he swapped them out for a (very expensive) original 70s Fender set, the Creamery set are still his favourite pickups.
Lovin the thinline with the block inlays. Do it.
