Does anyone have Stock 5120 pickups for sale?
Hello I just purchased a used 5120 and the pickups have been swapped for dynasoinc's and they are not bad but I am looking for a set of originals Gretschbuckers... I know they are commonly swapped out and wondered if anyone has a set kicking around

Just about everybody hates Gretschbuckers. Whatever is in there now is likely to be better than the stock pickups. It's entirely subjective, of course.

Gretschbuckers are terrible. If you must have them there are loads of them on Ebay. I took mine out and fitted a pair of Filtertons, I wouldn't insult anybody by selling them the old Gretschbuckers.

Those are Surf 90s from the looks of it, to me. I swapped my Gretschbuckers for Surf 90s and the sound difference was SIGNIFICANT.
My Gretschbuckers are for sale, but I'd stick with the Surf 90s if I were you.

Do what you want. The G-Buckers are just crappy china-buckers... crappy-57's, 59's, just sounds like a junk PAF.
