That guitar – I was leaving with that guitar. Whether it cost $50,000, it was going out the door with me. I knew that I had found the instrument that I had been looking for my entire life.

Avg price: $100.00
Edit: If you look around online you'll find he actually uses the Lace Sensor pickups for neck and middle and the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails for the bridge, which is not what he says in the following quote.
"I actually am using Fender Lace Sensors in my neck and bridge position, and then I use the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the lead position on all of them. Fender built me an exact replica of my ‘61, exactly the same with the wear marks on the guitar and they put in the same pickups for me. It was awesome.
But the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails is the loudest pickup made known to man, and that’s why I like it. It just really, really, really cranks – it gives you a lot more overdrive then a regular stock Fender pickup.
As far as the Lace Sensors — they’re quiet. A Strat is a notorious buzzing guitar – makes that telltale buzz on stage. They are noisy pickups because they are single coil pickups and they pickup AM radio and God knows what else, but the Lace Sensors are dead quiet. It takes that vintage sound of a Strat and just improves upon it."
