I purchased a pair of these for a two pickup La Cabronita build. I'd spent a long time searching the web to find some of these that weren't shipping from the US to UK to avoid all the tax and extra costs. Thomann does it again.
I chose these over the TV Jones because when I tried two friends guitars I was able to compare the two brands directly. To me, the Gretsch had the bright Tele sound without the the harshness of the TV Jones.
Build quality is obviously top draw and these things look great when they're installed.
Installation was very straight forward. I had a La Cabronita body with the correct routes already cut, if you're doing your own then it might be more difficult
Sound quality is great. these pickups clean up nicely but give them a little bit of drive and they growl. fantastic response!! I wouldn't look any further than these for your build or upgrade.

Affordable way to get that Filtertron sound
Jani_L 17.03.2024
I bought this to modify my Squier 70's Thinline Telecaster that has Widerange Humbuckers as stock.
Fits nicely on the guitars humbucker slot.
Powerfull sound volume on full, that sweetens nicely when turning volume and tone down a bit.
Works like humbuckers so these are hum cancelling and fairly silent even with high levels of gain.
Only small annoyance was there is nothing else but pickup in a plastic wrap when you buy this product. So no screws, foam or installation instructions included.
Successfully mounting this pickup you need to be able to drill four pilot holes to your guitar in correct places and get stuff like Göldo foam rubber to place underneath pickup, Gretsch wood screws and replacement 3rd party pickguard that has filtertron or tvjones sized slots.
If you little bit of experience in doing it your self and want to have a filtertron sounds out of your guitar that has humbucker sized slots, i can recommend this pickup.

I bought this to go inside of my HSS Tele and I love it. The sound and build quality are amazing not to mention it looks amazing. I installed it myself and it fitted perfectly where the humbucker was.

Wish I tried these years ago!

I believed that Gibson were my favourite pickups, having owned 10 different Gibsons. But I've been utterly blown away by these Gretsch FilterTrons. Superb clarity, great depth of tone and a wonderful sustain. Playing through a Marshall Plexi, and I'm finding it really easy to dial in the sounds that I want. I'm definitely converted to these pups!
