TV Jones's quest for the perfect pickup all started with a close look at the original Ray Butts PAF ("Patent Applied For) Filter'Tron — a design known for its unforgettable rock 'n' roll bite and sweet, rather than strident, top end. Tom's version, the TV Classic, captures the mojo of this original pickup and perhaps even improves on Ray's time-honored design. The TV Classic neck pickup lands somewhere between a classic California single-coil and a mid-century humbucker in its voicing; the bridge position compensates with a slightly hotter output for greater sustain and breakup. Once you try one for yourself, it'll be no secret why the TV Classic is TV Jones's most popular design to date.
