What if I want the original pickups back on my silo ?

[saintgrawal]

Hi everybody.

I just bought a 2006 Silhouette which is a really nice instrument BUT....

... but the previous owner changed the stock pickups for GFS (PAF, Hot Rails Style and P90, eeeerk)...

Does anyone can tell me the pickups I have to buy so that I'm able to figure out what a Silo sounds like ?

I know that it is supposed to be PAF Pros in both neck and bridge positions, but was it true in 2006 ? I heard about virtual PAFs...

Well actually the single coil seems to be much more a mistery beacause the "official" description says it's a custom wound Dimarzio... Which Dimarzio "regular" pickup is the closest ?

I was browsing on the german Ebay and found original Silhouette pickup's.

PAF PRO: DiMarzio Humbucker wie PAF Pro aus MusicMan Silhouette bei eBay.de: Zubehör (endet 13.01.08 19:30:00 MEZ)

Single coil: DiMarzio Single Coil f. Strat aus MusicMan Silhouette bei eBay.de: Zubehör (endet 13.01.08 19:30:00 MEZ)

Good luck!

Didn't CandidX have pickups/plate up for grabs?

I would also like to know peoples opinions on this question as I will shortly be facing a similar task.

Thanks in anticipation.
