TV Jones PowerTron Neck Universal Mount (Nickel)
$250.00
Power’Tron™ Neck Pickup – Universal Mount™
The Power’Tron was born out of our desire to create a pickup that has the character of a PAF-style humbucker yet retains the essence of a Filter’Tron. It sounds a little bit darker and somewhat gnarlier, with more windings – as much as a PAF humbucker – for hotter output.
Tone/Characteristics
Mixing the vintage tone of a golden-age PAF with the rockabilly twang of a late-’50s Filter’Tron. Full body and a clear top end that is naturally dynamic. Digging in reveals a chunky low-end breakup paired with a barky top-end grit that sounds amazing through a tube amp. This is a great choice if you like the overall Filter’Tron sound but want more guts and glory than usually provided by lower output pickups.
Output/Power
DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.
Bridge: DCR – 7.8k / Inductance – 4.75H
Neck: DCR – 5.0k / Inductance – 2.24H
Installation
The Universal Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for guitars with standard sized Filter’Trons – with and without “ears” or “clips”. This pickup comes standard with two pieces of compression rubber, 2 mounting (wood) screws, and 1 Universal Mount Clip Pack – which includes everything you will need to mount the pickups to a TV Jones ring or pickguard.
The Universal Mount can be installed two different ways:
- As a direct drop-in replacement for guitars with standard sized Filter’Trons – use wood screws and compression rubber
- As a replacement for a humbucker mount pickup – attach clips before installing pickup to ring or pickguard
NOTE: The Universal Mount requires a TV Jones ring (unless suspending from a pickguard)
