Guitar Question

Lately I've using my G&L more than my Gretsch and so have been giving thought to dropping in a pair of TV Jones Classics or maybe T-Armond pickups

Any opinions on how it will sound?

I`m not Tavo (there is only one)
but i guess your guitar would sound nearly like the guitar of this guy:

Thanks for the reply Brett, I didn't think of Brophy Dale.
I just need to decide whether to go with Classics or T-Armonds

I emailed TV Jones and sent a pic of the guitar and he suggested his Magntron pickups

TV Jones is really cool.
And will you do it?
I guess the sound will be amazing.

(And maybe i`ll do it with my Thinline too.)

Judging from the latest picture, he already did...

I have a TVJ Magnatron neck pickup in one of my Gretsches, and it sounds great!

Oh, it`s the same guitar?
I was thinking this is a pic by TV Jones?
In this case let us know how it sounds.

I like Classics in the tele but lately I am swooning over my T-armonds in the tele..just unbelievable how
versatile this guitar is.
I've done some demos on my youtube beerbilly channel with several telecasters using either classics,
or T-armonds or tvjones p90s.. Today I'm doing one with a tele I made from ruttersguitars.com sugarpine
body and hardware with a Supertron in the bridge and a splitter. The single coil mode of a supertron
is rad!

ahhh...I should watch that then

saw the videos! I must say awesome stuff...pine teles are great! The El Capi is pretty sweet too...but not sweet enough for me to bite just yet...think about yes!

and did my eyes play a joke on me or did I see a blondeshell (1x12?) combo cab that the pedals were sitting on? Funny that I see that in the video because I actually had a dream the other night that I picked up a 1x12 blondeshell combo in purple sparkle tolex and wheat grill... I'll just be happy to get my hands on one...tax time may be the right time...

sorry to get OT

ya.. working on it. Thats sparkle grey with the late 60s fender blackface grill using the turquoise metallic stripe. Spend $$ on that custom thing and the chassis wont fit, or I should say because its so small the OT is in the way of the 12" speaker (british
built celestion G12-65, my new favorite hand made celest) so.. back to the drawing
board using a deluxe chassis and cab.
Got a sexy princeton reverb cab w/ speaker avail!

sounds pretty rad! I have been thinking about getting an empty 1x12 closedback cab (Avatar) and putting that Fane V30 in there for the meantime. I'm not too familiar with the 612-65's. I know they are or were in Marshall cabs for a while, I've heard a lot of great things about them.

these are not at all like those early white labled marshall regulars.. these are
like V30s with completely flat mids but strangely hyper dynamic

those sound like a good rock and roll speaker, and yes I was thinking of those white labeled ones. I think I saw that the G12-65's have a heritage counterpart in the celestion line. It's weird that the V30 doesn't have a heritage counterpart, yet.

since they first billed the V30 as a high powered alnico blue, that was kind of thrown
out the window when they made the high powered alnico gold.

I like this G12-65 for clean, I havent tried to push it.. it just sounds like I stuck my
ear on the top bout of my gretsch. expensive sounding is what I'm saying.. like
when I dumped my cheap home pioneer speakers for a PolK surround system

ahh I see now! Too many seakers to get a chance to listen to them all!

Those alnico golds seem pretty killer, I've even heard that they sound good with a bassman. I've always heard that alnicos sound a little better in open/open-ish back cabs.

in one of the early demo's I'm at sunkidds place playin his 6120 western with tvjones rewired dyna..going into his silverface deluxe with an alnico blue..gooood stuff.
Although I do like a deluxe with a well worn in Jensen P12N alnico
