There are lots of possiblities of pickups, it all depends on what you want. I put a set of GFS Vintage 59s in mine, Gibson '57 Classic clones. They are considerably cheaper at about $40 each and they sound pretty good to me.

 

In order to put new pickups in you will need ot fish the wires out the F-hole. My Sherry had some connectors, so yours might as well and you could splice the pickups in to the connectors. I opted to put new pots, switch and jack in when I did mine. It's not difficult, but it does take some patience.
