Hi folks!
Sorry to be a pain, but a while ago I saw a post from a Gretsch lover who had put some Swing O pick ups into his 5120, I think the guy in question was from New Zealand?
I cannot find the thread and was wondering if any of you had installed these pick ups? They sound Sweet and I am gonna get some, but I think I need some new mounting rings? Can anyone help or advise me of any fitting issues please.
Funny thing is the gretsch buckers sounded ok to me, then all of a sudden I have to admit- they sound muddy! Maybye it's just my old tired ears?:)

Do you mean the Swing O's from The Creamery (http://www.at-the-creamery.co.uk/blog/handwound-pickups/filtertron-style-humbuckers-swing-os/)? I though they were a drop-in replacement for the Gretschbuckers but why not double check and drop Jaime a line to ask?

Yep, that's the ones! From the Creamery. Yes I'll give Jamie a call, thanks!
