Swap your stock humbuckers for the Filtertron sound!
TV Jones Classic Pickups
Killer pickups for rockabilly, swing and rock! TV Jones pickups reproduce the look, twang and growl of late '50s Gretsch Filtertron pickups. They drive the sound of Brian Setzer and other famous guitarists. The TV Classic Plus is a special bridge position model that's wound with thinner coil wire for a beefed-up midrange.
Good news! They're now supplied with custom-fitted Gibson-style mounting rings, so you can easily swap out your stock humbuckers.

Original 1/4"-thick Gretsch Alnico Filtertron magnets were carefully analyzed and reproduced. Each pickup is wax potted to help eliminate microphonic feedback, and has a 2-conductor shielded wire. Neck model 4.0K ohms; bridge model 4.8K ohms.
