TV Jones Pickup - TV-HT with Universal Mount
€137.50
TV-HT (Hilo'Tron) With Universal Mount
Clanky, single coil tone with a hint of natural midrange. When the bridge and neck pickups are on at the same time, 60-cycle hum is eliminated. In this mode they are 2 single coil pickups wired in parallel. The TV-HT is designed to produce twangy bass and crisp highs.
Note: The TV-HT is not a top-mounted
pickup and may not fit on some vintage Gretsch Guitars. However,
this vintage version is available through special
order.
Bridge: TV Jones improved on the vintage Hilo’Tron™ single coil
pickup by widening the pole-to-pole spacing and increasing the
output of the bridge position.
Neck: A tonal replica of a vintage 1960’s Hilo’Tron™
pickup.
Characteristic/Tone:
Twangy and clanky Tight, clear bass notes
Likeness/Derived from:
Original 1960’s Hilo’Tron™

The groundbreaking, patent-pending design combines both the standard No Ears "NE" Filter’Tron Mount and the company’s English "EM" Mount into one housing, allowing TV Jones pickups to now be installed in a larger variety of guitars.
“This housing is all about making things easier and simpler for everyone concerned,” said Thomas “TV” Jones. “Ordering and installation are now a piece of cake – simply choose your finish and position and you’ll be good to go. Our Authorized Dealers and worldwide network of Custom Builders are ecstatic about the simplicity the Universal Mount™ brings them. We are sure our customers will appreciate it, too.”
TV Jones pickups will now ship with all necessary mounting screws, compression foam, and “clips” for both Wood Screw and Suspended Mount installations.
