I have a Epiphone model 5102TE. It looks nearly identical to the ARia 5102. Both original pickups still work. But if they give out, I do not know what would fit in place of them because their diomensions don't seem compatible with PAF style, P90 or mini-hum standard sizes.

Have any of you succesfully found current-production pickups that will mount in place of them? I'd be open to dogear P90 style or surface mount Rickenbacker or Gretsch types as well, if that would be necessary.

In fact if any of you have a similar model that clearly has a different non-original style pickup installed please share.

If they do fail (which they might not) why not get them re-wound & renovated? That way you'd keep the guitar original.
