Thunderbird Pickups - Where to buy?

Hey guys,
I am in a quest for some stock replacement Thunderbird pickups for a project. I need either the standard pickups or the plus pickups. Where can I find some?

unfortunately, Gibson doesn't sell the pickups without a bass attached. perhaps you could have a shop order some for you but even that is unlikely. keep watching on ebay and you'll have a better shot at getting them.

DARKSTARS!!!!! Vintage in another way!

I need these to be Tbirds. Part of the tone on the tbirds is the pickups.

Ebay, and they'll cost you a fistful of c-notes.

Anyone know of anything that gets pretty darn close?

you could have somebody wind some to spec for you, plenty of places offer that service. you can get more detailed advice here:
