Chosen by Setzer in a Blind Listening Test

TV Jones's first and only signature pickup honors the man who helped put Tom's fledgling pickup company on the map. TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature pickups, based around the famed Filter'Tron design, are the very humbuckers Brian chose for his latest signature guitars. All positions boast the familiar Filter'Tron snap, sparkle, and chime. But a stronger, fatter low-midrange punch and a hotter output — sitting between the TV Classic and Classic Plus — increase the potential for that coveted tube crunch as you crank up. The cleaner neck position comes with standard pole spacing, while the hotter bridge position sports TV Jones's signature (wider) pole spacing for greater inductance and juicier sustain.

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 not just Brian Setzer, but also 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 Here proudly recommend TV Jones pickups.
