TV Jones TV Classic Plus Bridge Pickup w/ Clip System - Chrome
2 models to choose from:
Midrange Attitude
The TV Classic Plus is a great choice if you desire a bridge pickup with more punch. This bridge position only pickup is wound with thinner magnet wire, giving you more output and midrange growl. The TV Classic Plus is like a vintage Filter'Tron pickup but with extra attitude.
Bridge: Features two standard bobbins wound with thinner magnet wire and with wider pole-to-pole spacing to provide a good balance of output and clarity.
DC Resistance: 7.8K | Inductance: 2.83H
Tone/Characteristic:
Similar to a TV Classic bridge but warmer and less clarity.
Includes:
Ships with 2 wood screws, compression rubber, 2 humbucker screws with springs and clips. Rings for suspending pickup sold separately.
*Ships with 4 conductor wiring - ready for standard 2 conductor hook-up. Red and green wires are soldered and taped off for standard wiring - send red and green wires to ground for splitting coils. Splitting coils is not recommended for the TV Classic due to lower coil power (but will work). However, it is convenient for custom switching. Example: where coils from other pickups are combined in series, or parallel.

This is an excellent pickup. The stock pickup on my Gretsch Electromatic was very thin sounding. This handles distortion very well. The notes are very clear and bright, but not so much that it hurts your ears. I highly recommend this pickup. You will not be disappointed. I put a TV Jones Classic in the neck and they sound great together. Couldn't be happier and highly recommend.
The only issue is that you can't get the bridge pickup high enough to match TV Jones specs. You'll need to put something underneath the pickup ring to raise it (about 1/4 to 3/16ths of an inch depending on how squishy the foam is). TV Jones sells something on their website or you can use a mouspad or foam. This is very easy to do and makes a huge difference. You are not getting the full potential of the pickup if you don't do this.
