Nice Man!!! Totally agree. Just got my 5120 back as well. New bone nut, its like a whole new beast!!! The best thing for these 5120's is a good setup and a new nut. Not too expensive either!!! Enjoy!!

Wayne Compton (Workknot) cut and slotted a bone nut for my G5120 a few years ago and it made a big difference in the tone. I installed one of his aluminum bridges and the tone got even better. Some mods/enhancements are inexpensive but go a long way to bringing an entry level guitar to sound very good.
Thanks Wayne.
