Product details
Artec TVGT Filter’tron style pickups deliver the bright, chiming, articulate voice made famous by classic Gretsch® guitars — ideal for rockabilly, country, surf and jangly clean tones, while still cutting through when pushed. A perfect match for our own La Cabronita style bodies.
- Filter’tron style humbucking pickups — clear, twangy and articulate, with hum-cancelling quiet operation.
- A perfect fit for our own La Cabronita style bodies.
- Alnico V magnets for tight lows, chiming highs and strong note definition.
- Single conductor wiring for simple, direct installation.
- Adjustable pole pieces for fine-tuning string balance.
- Wax potted to minimise microphonic feedback and squeal.
- Mounts directly through the pickup into the body — no side mounting ears, just like the original TV pickups.
