Those are the stock pickups. The brand is called dearmond. Usually they are referred as silverfoils. Your best bet would be ebay. You would need to make sure they are going to fit your guitar. Here's one:

Yeah they're also referred to as gold foil pickups. I looked into trying to mount this in a guitar at one point. Let me save you the research: they are such weird sizes that it would be a huge pain in the ass to mount these in your guitar. Might be doable in a telecaster without too much trouble, but not in a hollowbody. Don't even bother.

Some custom pickup winders can make em for you. I know Curtis Novak can make em. They won't look the same but they'll sound close. He might be able to make them in a humbucker mount. There's a shop in Chicago that makes em too but their name escapes me.
