Hi all
well just got in after another hard day at work,cracked open a cold beer,grabbed the ole 5120 and plugged the lead into the hole on the side
the next thing I heard was a banging noise(literally) as the pick ups (not sure if thats right) fell into the hollow body leaving me with just the two bits that are left outside the washer and the screw thingy,this has left me with the pick up thing rattling around inside
So just to clarify its not the pick ups themselves that have collapsed into the body but the little bit you plug the lead into......
I really have no idea what to do next????
I live in Watford herts and am unaware of any guitar shops that do repairs locally or if this is quite straightforward I would be willing to give it a go myself
All help and advice greatly appreciated
Oh and yes I will finish my beer

BBZ guitars in High Wycombe is 27 miles away.
Steve can repair it, he's a great guy, and has worked on most of my Gretschs. He has three of mine in there at the moment.

01494 533554

Tell him 'Paul' recommended him.

Good luck

Paul.

so it's just the jack that fell in?
take the pickups out and start fishing!
just put in a screwdriver in the jackhole with the washer and screw already on it and try to put in on there
