I have swapped a lot of pick ups out with inexpensive ones from Ebay, Ali Express, Temu etc. The first time I really wanted to hate them but one of the TH-cam channels gave them a big thumbs up bu tI was still suspicious. After I installed them no matter how hard I tried to hate them I just could not. Since I have bought many pick ups passive and active for fractions the cost of brand name ones and they have been just as good. In the 50+ years I have been playing, building and repairing guitars I never would have thought I would be loving inexpensive pick ups! I just ordered a set in teal blue for a cheap Gibson/Baldwin guitar some one gave me I made my next project. I will only be using 1 pick up that is what the guitar has do not feel like adding another route.
A couple of years ago I bought two Fleors HBs, Duncan clones, for my project guitar. With 500k pots and a 22er capacitor they're perfect.
Sounds way better

Yea I’ve got some 20$ eBay invaders and they rock
If your bridge has that wire Epiphone type get a Tone pros or a Gotoh. It's way better once intonated it's solid.
