TV Jones has done it again. This entry-level telecaster has been turned into a tone-monster with the addition of a TV Jones TV Classic Filter'Tron style pickup and TV Savalas Bridge.
Thats great playing and tone coming out of that tele. Anyone who downplays it is misinformed and possibly just trolling for power to feel better about themselves fill the next time they have a power outage.
@xxdigipiratexx TV Jones TV Classic pickups are humbuckers, Tom Jones has basically created clones of the old Gretsch Filtertron pickups, they are smaller than a standard humbucker but humbuckers none the less, many of TV Jones pickup models are now available in stard humbucker retrofit!
Are these humbuckers as well. Do they cancel all the line noise? I've got the DeArmond's on my Telesonic, and while I love their sound, they get too much line noise and buzz. I probably would keep it original, but i like the roll off on these and how it doesn't lose sustain in the process and might be something I would put on one of my other guitars.
would that pickguard + pickup be up for grabs somewhere? I wanna keep my old bridge pickup, but replace the neck with a filtertron-style

@shitfer I had the TV Jones Powertron's on my Lacab. I used a Fender Deluxe Hardtail Bridge from an American Standard Hard-tail.

This is a great Tele. I have a Thinline Tele with Filtertron type pickups and I love it. I would put actual TV Jones Filtertrons on my next Tele.
