Description
TV Classic Plus™ Bridge Pickup - Humbucker Mount
This bigger, badder, older sibling to the TV Classic is a bridge position only pickup that packs a mighty punch. Using thinner gauge wire, it saturates quicker with punchy mids but keeps that "classic" Filter'Tron vibe.
Tone/Characteristics
Like a TV Classic but with more attitude, the TV Classic Plus is wound with thinner gauge wire providing slightly rounder top-end and touch of more output. Many players wish for a Filter'Tron that has "more" to its sound...this pickup fills that need very well. Installing the TV Classic Plus with a Super'Tron paves the way for some serious Chet Atkins glory (check out his '59 Country Gentleman) but is also a wonderful combination that brings out some of the best sounds in our line (and secretly one of TV's favorite combinations).
Output/Power
DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.
Bridge (only): DCR - 7.8k / Inductance - 2.83H
Installation:
The Humbucker Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for any guitar with standard sized humbuckers. This pickup ships with mounting screws and springs for adjustment.
NOTE: Designed for use with your original humbucker ring. TV Jones rings do not fit humbucker size pickups.
Wiring Notes
This pickup is shipped with 4-conductor wire but is ready for standard 2-conductor connection. The extra red and green wires come soldered together and taped off - to split coils, send these to ground.
Splitting coils works well with the TV Classic Plus due to higher coil strength. Additionally, the 4-Conductor wire is convenient for custom switching i.e. pickups combined in series or parallel.
Helpful Notes
Humbucker Replacement: The Humbucker Mount is a direct drop in replacement for any guitar with standard sized humbuckers. The change in mount does not change the sound of the pickup.
