Description
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 a slightly rounder top-end and a touch more output. Many players wish for a Filter’Tron that has “more” to it’s 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 Universal Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for guitars with standard sized Filter’trons – with and without “ears” or “clips”. This pickup comes with two pieces of compression rubber, 2 mounting (wood) screws, and the Universal Mount Clip Pack which includes everything you will need to mount the pickups to your ring or pickguard.
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.
