Help! I need some input.
I am building a new Warmoth project.  I have on order an ash body, maple neck w/rosewood fretboard. i have not ordered any hardware yet.
What kind of PUP's?
I am leaning towards a traditional 3 brass bridge, an oil and foil capacitor, 250k pots, and an ashtray cover.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Kinda thinking Broadcaster.

I'd suggest Seymour Duncan Vintage Broadcaster Lead (STL-1b) and Vintage Rhythm (STR-1).  For me, Duncans are just the way to go and I think that combination would give you a fairly faithful reproduction of that classic instrument.

I'm thinking of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders (STL-3 and STR-3) or Rio Grande Muy Grande (MGTSB) for a Tele Custom (double bound) that I want to build.  I want to see the pole pieces on both pickups!!!

This bridge lets your hands rest on it, feels great. http://www.warmoth.com/hardware/bridges/bridges.cfm?fuseaction=bridges_standard_tele You will not be able to mute the strings with the ashtray cover.
