Frequently Asked Questions
The TV Jones Classic humbuckers offer a more defined, tighter low-end and a slightly hotter output than typical Gretsch Filter'Trons, retaining a vintage character but with increased clarity.
Each relic finish is unique and applied by hand, so the specific wear patterns will vary between guitars, making each one individually distinctive.
The 625mm scale provides a slightly tighter string feel and a bit more clarity in the lower registers, but may require a minor adjustment to your playing technique and potentially lighter gauge strings.
