TV Jones TV Classic Neck Humbucker Pickup - Chrome

Humbucking Neck Pickup with 4.0k DC Resistance and 1.40H Inductance - Chrome

The Pickup That Started It All

TV Jones's quest for the perfect pickup all started with a close look at the original Ray Butts PAF ("Patent Applied For) Filter'Tron — a design known for its unforgettable rock 'n' roll bite and sweet, rather than strident, top end. Tom's version, the TV Classic, captures the mojo of this original pickup and perhaps even improves on Ray's time-honored design. The TV Classic neck pickup lands somewhere between a classic California single-coil and a mid-century humbucker in its voicing; the bridge position compensates with a slightly hotter output for greater sustain and breakup. Once you try one for yourself, it'll be no secret why the TV Classic is TV Jones's most popular design to date.

TV Jones: handmade, relic-grade pickups

Tom V. Jones's ear for pickups — particularly Gretsch designs of the 1950s and '60s — has earned him a clientele that today includes Brian Setzer, Billy Gibbons, Keith Urban, The Reverend Horton Heat, and Gretsch itself. These pickups are obsessively hand built from the finest parts available, using vintage-spec alnico magnets and voice-tailored metal pole screws. But unlike classic pickups, TV Jones pickups are lightly wax saturated to reduce microphonic feedback onstage. When you want to capture the distinctive look and flavor of the mid-last century, guitarists at Sweetwater proudly recommend TV Jones pickups.
