Up for sale is a set of TV Jones reproduction of the awesome Dynasonic pickup, made to fit into a Gretsch Filtertron pickup Cavity.
These are in the Nickel finish (kind of muted silver). Leads are still intact and nice and long, and pickups are in perfect working order.
Please note - these are not the standard sized Dynasonic pickups. TV Jones has cleverly designed the pickup to fit into a Filtertron pickup cavity. Perfect if you have a DuoJet fitted with Filtertrons that you've always wanted to hear with Dynasonics - but didn't want to rout or put new holes in your guitar.
Brand new these are $160-170 dollars a pickup - and so in excess of $320 for a set. Here's your chance to get a set for well under that price.
Awesome tone - punchy but clear and strong - made with great respect to the pioneers of rock who used them from George Harrison to Billy Zoom, and a host of many others.
From the TV Jones site:
Clear and Transparent Tone with Balance
The TV Jones T-Armond uses larger alnico cylinder magnets and very thin magnet wire. The coils are short and squatty – similar to a P-90 pickup coil. The result is a full-bodied harmonic tone. The adjustable cylinder magnets enable each string to be dialed in for perfect string-to-string balance. Tom designed our T-Armond set after Brian Setzer's Silver Jet used on his Dirty Boogie CD. This guitar spent many hours on Tom's workbench over the years.
Bridge: Wider pole spacing, which places a magnet directly under each string, results in optimum string separation and output. This pickup is wound with thinner magnet wire to enhance it's thicker tone. DC Resistance: 12.0K | Inductance: 4.56H
Neck: The neck pickup has a clear, transparent and balanced tone with less string pull. DC Resistance: 8.2K | Inductance: 3.38H
Likeness/Derived from: Traditional 1950's DeArmond pickup. Brian Setzer's Gretsch Silver Jet.
