TV CLASSICâ„¢ Bridge Pickup - Humbucker Mount

99c No Reserve Auction. RRP $295 AUD

The pickup that started it all - the TV Classic captures that vintage twang and growl characteristic of the late 1950's Filter'Tron. Originally designed from an analyzed 1959 "Pat. Applied For" Filter'Tron, the TV Classic is our most popular and most versatile pickup. Popularized and played by many different artists ranging from John Mayer to Brian Setzer.

Tone/Characteristics 

Between a typical Fender (bright single-coil) & Gibson (darker & thick humbucker) with a unique growl when you dig in. 

Clean, compressed treble and mids breath life over a tight and controlled low-end. 

 

Output/Power

DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.

Bridge (only): DCR - 4.8k / Inductance - 1.8H

Installation:

The Humbucker Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for any standard sized humbuckers. This pickup ships with mounting screws and springs for adjustment. 

Wiring Notes

This pickup is shipped with 4-conductor wire but is ready for standard 2-conductor connection. 

The extra red and green wires come soldered together and taped off - to split coils, send these to ground.

Splitting coils works extremely well with the Power'Tron Plus due to higher coil strength. 

Additionally, the 4-Conductor wire is convenient for custom switching i.e. pickups combined in series or parallel.

Helpful Notes

The change in mount does not change the sound of the pickup.
