I see different numbers for the width of the pickup, on this page it says both 2.79" and 2.75" and I found a 2.80" on another website. It sounds silly, but I can make this work with 2.77" or less. Could you get an accurate width for me?
Asked by Anonymous on January 28th, 2017.
These Filtertron pickups are 2.79" in length.

Is the magnet the classic 1/4" thickness, or is it only 1/8" like the reproduction kits here?

We would have to disassemble one of these pickups to verify the thickness of the magnet, which we are unable to do at this time.

Half of the images show a body mount pickup with no tabs. The other photos show a pickup with tabs. Just wondering which pickups these actually are?

The first two photos (the pickup without tabs) are pictures of the bridge option, while the second two photos (the pickup with the tabs) are pictures of the neck pickup option. The two options are different in construction.

Will the filtertons fit in a gretsch g5420t

It appears that the Gretsch G5420T uses Blacktop pickups, which are larger in size than these FilterTrons. Modifications would need to be made to the guitar to properly install these in that specific guitar.
