TV Jones Pickups

The TV Jones Magna'Tron blends DeArmond-style twang and single coil spank in a standard Filter'Tron™ footprint.

The Magna'Tron's special tone is the result of staggered cylinder magnets, using a blend of alnico grades. With the magnets so close to the strings, note attack is extremely quick. The tone is quite aggressive, with exceptional pop and clarity on single-notes. This is perfectly balanced by the full tone inherent in its dual-coil design, which provides hum-cancelling operation as well.

The Magna'Tron bridge model features extra-tall coils overwound with thin magnet wire, which provides a good balance of output and clarity. The matched Magna'Tron neck model uses normal coils and standard wire, resulting in a sweeter tone.

All Magna'Tron models are wax saturated to help eliminate microphonic feedback. Each pickup comes with mounting screws and complete installation instructions.

TV'Tron
The TV'Tron uses the same size cover and baseplate as a standard humbucker, so it can be mounted into any guitar with standard humbucker pickup cavities. Since the pickup cover is completely enclosed, we use nickel/silver alloy instead of brass to retain as much clarity as possible.
