Introducing the Power'Tron?the ultimate marriage of twang, fatness, sparkle and warmth.

The all-new Power'Tron was born out of our desire to create a Filter'Tron?-sized pickup with a strong midrange presence and high output, while still retaining the famous sparkle and bass-note clarity of our TV Classic.

At the heart of the Power'Tron bridge model are two extra-tall bobbins, allowing for more winds of standard-gauge wire. Single treble notes are reproduced with a full, midrange fatness, while bass notes twang out deep and clear. Overall, the tone is remarkably close to a fifties PAF humbucker, blended with a zing and twang that is all Gretsch?.

Our matched Power'Tron neck model uses standard bobbins (to retain a 5/8" cover height), overwound with standard-gauge wire. The resulting tone is slighty darker and hotter than a TV Classic neck, scooping on an extra helping of thick, buttery goodness.

So, you ask, how is the Power'Tron bridge model different from the TV Classic Plus? Well, the Power'Tron has a tone that is fat and full?the result of tall coils wound with standard wire. The TV Classic Plus is more like a vintage Filter'Tron? pickup with extra-attitude?this due to more turns of thinner wire on a short bobbin.

The Power'Tron neck model uses standard .380" pole-to-pole spacing, while the Power'Tron bridge features a pole-to-pole spacing of .406" for optimum string separation and output. Click here to see the dimensions of the Power'Tron in the Classic Mount (as pictured).

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