What is the Hamer-of recommendation for a set Filter'Trons to fuel an Artist

Question

Posted

My latest NGD had been an Artist. The pickups it came with are nice, but... What I have been missing out so far were Gretsch style sounds in a Hamer. I think the Artist would do nicely with its half semi hollow body style. My research pulled up the characteristic of the 'Tron pickups vs. i.e. humbuckers. Which is good to know. Still, there are plenty of options to choose from. And, finally, its about sound rather then technique. Assumed is that 500k pots would remain valid for this case.

  • What is the sound wise best choice of a 'Tron pickup for the Artist?
  • What is the pickup ring best choice for the best chosen pickups?
  • What is the best capacitor value working for the best chosen pickups?

Yesterday, I had a chance to grap a Mojo Tone set that's going to arrive in a few days. Maybe different brands for either neck or bridge would do the trick. However, I would buy and try other options though.

TV Jones not only makes some of the best Trons on the market IMHO, they make versions that are a direct fit to a standard HB ring.

My favorites are a duet of TV Jones Classics, or Classic/Classic Plus, 500K pots, .022 cap(s)

Jeff based on an earlier recommendation of yours for TV Jones classics I put one in the bridge of a TLE, and it is glorious!! Thank you so much :)

THIS.

I do like a Super’Tron in the neck position, but tough to beat Jeff’s combo!

^^^The top on yours is fantastic!

The other 3 aren't so bad, either. B)
