Comments: I've been playing close to 25 yrs, the last 6 years playing Gretsch Country Club & Super Chet (both equiped with TV Jones Filtertrons, I've always played and owned Teles and Strats. Always liked the big twang but haven't touched the Fenders for several yrs.. Tele sounded like cats fighting in a bag until I got the p/up from TV. I love the Filtertrons. I told Thomas that the pickup basically turned the Tele from a piece of furniture back into a working musical intrument. Fun to play it again.
