My 5427t is going to be my "experimental guitar" for trying out pickups so I want to use these quick connects until I settle in with some pickups. I figured I could utilize these quick connectors already installed and I was wondering if anyone knew what these electrical connectors are. I imagine these things are used in several applications for electronics so hopefully someone here knows what the heck these things are called. Hoping for a model number as well!

I always called them Molex connectors or bus connectors. Molex is a brand name that has become common usage for the plastic connectors of the type your picture shows. Finding an exact match on line can be challenging.

I appreciate your reply! I'm doing my best to avoid gutting this guitar just to figure it out! I'll start there.

Those look like the same connectors I had on an Epiphone (and I did the same thing you did, added them to any new pickups, making swapping easy-peasy).
These are the ones I bought, and they might fit your model as well. The listing says they are for Gretsch as well, but you should probably make sure before ordering...

Thanks LesB3! Those do look correct! Between this and the post about the Molex connectors, I think I'm back in business getting pickups swapped out!
