TV Jones is a company making FilterTron style pickups.

FilterTron pups were designed by Gretch way back when as their take on humbuckers... They're described as the single coil lovers humbuckers... a little bit of best of both. The hum bucking properties of a humbucker but with the tonal properties leaning more towards that of singlecoils. Typically lower output than humbuckers and brighter sounding.

TV Jones Filtertrons are hand wound, made in america, super high quality filtertrons (I have a tele with TV Jones Classics that I adore!!).

There are many other filtertron style pickups (Gretch's own Filtertrons, Fender's Fidelitrons etc) covering a wide range of budgets...

Thanx for setting me straight on that. ?

Can you tell me if TV Jones sell these pickups in pairs or do you have to buy the neck and bridge pickups separately?
I was browsing the TV Jones store and cant seem to get info on that.

Mail them, it's not a big company and they will probably appreciate the feedback of not having the info on their site.
