Super’Tron
Shown in English Mount with Modified Gretsch ring
Clear Classic Tone with Smooth Sustain
The TV Jones Super’Tron is a replica of the original early 1960’s prototype design. It is very similar to the TV Classic, but with steel blades instead of pole screws. The blades provide a larger magnetized surface area, producing greater inductance. The resulting tone retains the TV Classic clarity, but with a bold and full broadband punch.
Bridge: Blades are milled with a radius for superior string-to-string balance.
DC Resistance: 4.8K | Inductance: 3.5H
Neck: Made with flat blades to keep the tone clear and warm.
DC Resistance: 4.0K | Inductance: 2.55H
TONE / Characteristic:
Similar to the TV Classic but a thicker and bolder tone. Warmer than mid 1960's Super'Trons with laminated blades. The Super'Tron neck is very clear and warm.
BEST FOR:
- Blues
- Rock n' Roll
- Jazz – neck position
- Finger Style – neck position
LIKENESS / Derived from:
Early 1960's proto-type Super'Tron with solid steel blades.
Mounting Options Available (The tone you want, in nearly any guitar!)
