Hi!
Looking for less hum in my tele AND chasing Jakob Bro's sound I've decided to order a tv jones filtertron. I have an american performer with HB routing so it will fit in and I'll only have to make the whole in the plate bigger.
So would this be the proper one?
TV JONES TV CLASSIC UNIV. MT CHROME NECK | boxguitar.com | Reverb
Thanks!

That's the one. I've got one in my Hahn Model C and really like it. I too was inspired by that pickup (TV Jones Classic) in Jakob Bro and Bill Frisell's Nash guitars.
One thing to consider is that several pickup brands offer a Filtertron design in a humbucker-sized housing (so you wouldn't need to cut your guitar's pickguard). TV Jones offer one, but with slighty different cosmetics. Lollar, Mojo, Creamery, Oil City and several others offer dead-on looking Filtertrons in a humbucker size.

You can't order/buy a pick guard already cut out for the FTron??

But what pots do You use with them? The std Tele bridge pu needs a 250kOhm pots, humbuckers would need 500kOhms but what is the Filtertron value?

JZJazz, beautiful playing and sound; and very nice composition, too.
-
That sounds really good.... and I'm talking about the PLAYING and the TUNE too, not just the filtertron!
I'd buy an album of that.
-
that was a really good idea. do it again.

My wife just walked through the room as I was listening to your clip, jzjazz. As she passed through, she said "Is that Bill Frisell?"
I hope you will understand that at my house that is a very high compliment.
