TV JONES POWERTRON UNIV. MT NICKEL BRIDGE
DisponibileUNIVERSAL MOUNT: instead of English Mount and No Ear Mount
Blends Twang, Fatness, Sparkle & Warmth
The Power’Tron was born out of our desire to create a pickup with a stronger midrange presence and higher output than our TV Classic.
Bridge: Two extra-tall bobbins allow for more winds of standard-gauge magnet wire. Single treble notes are reproduced with a fuller tone, while bass notes twang out deep and clear. Overall, the tone is remarkably close to a 1950's PAF Humbucker, blended with the zing and twang of a Filter'Tron™.
DC Resistance: 7.8K Inductance: 5.94H
Neck: Standard bobbins over-wound with standard-gauge magnet wire. The resulting tone is slightly fuller and hotter than a TV Classic neck.
DC Resistance: 5K Inductance: 2.77H
TONE / Characteristic:
TV Classic on steroids. Overall slightly darker - punchy mids and clean treble. Gibson-like with Filter'Tron™ overtones. Works well if coil splitting is desired.
LIKENESS / Derived from:
1950's Gibson Humbucker. Fatter than the TV Classic Plus
BEST FOR:
- Rock n' Roll
- Blues
- Rock
- Punk
- Psychobilly
Special Considerations
Filter'Tron Replacement: The Universal Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for Vintage Filter'trons, HS Filter'trons, Fideli'trons, Mega'trons, Full-trons and any other standard sized 'Trons.
Blacktop Filter'Tron Replacement: You will need the Universal Mount and one Dual Screw Mount Adapter per pickup to mount into the stock rings.
Broad'Tron Replacement: You will need the Universal Mount along with a new EM2 Ring or EM5 Ring.
Gretsch-Bucker Replacement: You will need the Universal Mount along with a new EM2 Ring or EM5 Ring.
Post-2012 Electromatics: You will need the Universal Mount with one Dual Screw Mount Adapter per pickup. This is necessary to mount the pickup into your stock ring.
Streamliners: These guitars are made with "Gibson-style" rings instead of standard Gretsch rings. You will want to choose the Universal Mount with either our EM1 Ring, EM2 Ring, or EM5 Ring to replace the stock ring when installing a Universal Mount Pickup (this depends on which style you prefer). If you choose either the EM2 or EM5 Gretsch-style Rings you will also want a pack of Ring Risers (due to the neck angle).
Gretsch 5120/5122: You will need the Universal Mount along with an EM2 Ring or EM5 Ring and Ring Risers. Risers are recommended because the neck angle on these guitars tend to be high. You can find those in our Hardware section.
Gretsch 5420/5422 - early models: You will need the Universal Mount. If your guitar came stock with the large metal rings you will not be able to replace them with the smaller Gretsch rings because the footprint is too large. You will need one of our Dual Screw Mount Adapters for each pickup to attach the pickup to your stock ring.
Humbucker Replacement: To replace standard Humbuckers you will need the Universal Mount with one of our EM1 (Gibson-style), EM2 (Gretsch), EM5 (Gretsch), or EM4 (Fender-style) rings.
