Our version of the original DeArmond 2000 pickups are more controlled in the high frequencies, taking away earth shattering ice-pickiness while keeping that "off-the-rails" attitude that these pickups are known for. Of course, at lower gain levels they sing with unmatched fidelity and clarity. This version of the T-Armond with the proprietary T-Series cover makes it easy to wood-screw mount in any standard Filter'Tron cavity. If you have a Pro level or Vintage Gretsch please see the Original Gretsch Mount version of this pickup.
The T-Armonds are in a league of their own with crystal clear highs, bellowing lows, and a tastefully controlled midrange. They perform really well with and without a lot of gain. Some say they sound like tele pickups on steroids.
The No Ears Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for any guitar with standard size Filter'Tron style pickups that mount directly into wood. This pickup ships with mounting screws and compression foam for adjustment.
Note: NOT intended for Pro Series Gretsch guitars (6xxx Series) with Filter'Tron style pickups - see Original Gretsch Mount here.
DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.

Filter'Tron Replacement: The No Ears Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for any guitar with standard size Filter'Tron-style pickups that mount into the guitar body with wood-screws. This includes vintage and modern pro-level Gretsch guitars, Cabronitas, and more!
Electromatic & Streamliner Guitars: If you have a Gretsch Electromatic or Streamliner Series guitar then you will need the English Mount - not this No Ears mount.
Pro-level Gretsch Guitars: If you have a pro-level Gretsch you will need to order this pickup in the Original Gretsch Mount.
