It’s a simple, well-executed solution for maintaining proper pickup height and string clearance, and the cream finish looks the part.

Frequently Asked Questions

While it's designed for TV Jones Universal Mount pickups, some modern Filter'Trons with a smaller corner radius *might* fit, but compatibility isn't guaranteed.
The 'tall' designation is intended for higher bridges, but measure your bridge height carefully; excessive height may still require modification or a custom solution.
The plastic ring's impact on tone is minimal, primarily acting as a spacer. It's lighter than metal, which can slightly reduce sympathetic vibrations, but the pickup itself will be the dominant tonal factor.
