It's been said that this is your best option: http://www.tvjones.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=PROJ&keywords=all&template=PDGCommTemplates/Header_Footer/Storebuilder_Projet.html Word is, the Pro Jet is rather difficult to modify with new pups. You'd think that Gretsch would have allowed for at least a little flexibility when it came to this. I guess it has to do with the shape/dimensions of the stock mini-humbucker pups and dealing with the cavity space. Because of this, a little bit of routing out of wood is called for. That's a scary thought, but it seems people have been fairly successful pulling this off. You can also hire a luthier to do this for you. Less bragging rights when you have to resort to that. Good Luck! --Dave E.

Modifying a Jet is easier than people think. I just did it a few weeks ago for a friend of mine. Have a look here. Although the text is written in German language, the pictures may help. http://www.guitarworld.de/forum/pimp-my-gretsch-pro-jet-der-baubericht-t15955.html
