I'm doing research while I save up for a gretsch. Do the TV Jones Magnatrons sound similar to the Dynasonics with the difference being that the Magnatrons are humbucking?
thanks

Well, so they say. I think they sound more like a CROSS between a Dynasonic and a Filtertron. Midway between, say.
To hear all three, listen to the neck pickups in the following clips.
G6120-GA Nashville Golden Anniversary- 2.75" x 16" open-f-hole body; 24.6" scale; TV Jones Classic pickups, tone switch circuit; bar bridge; 9.45" radius ebony fingerboard; parallel tone bar bracing with sound post; D'Addario 11-49 round, plain 3rd
G6120DSV Nashville Dynasonic; the 1957-inspired "Duane" model- 2.75" x 16" open-f-hole body; 24.6" scale; Dynasonic single-coil pickups, tone pot circuit; bar bridge; 12" radius rosewood fingerboard; parallel tone bar bracing with sound post; D'Addario Chromes 11-50 flat, wound 3rd
G6122-1959 Nashville Classic; the modified-1959 "Chet" model- 2.25" x 17" closed body w/fake f-holes; 25.5" scale, zero fret; TV Jones Magnatron neck pickup; TV Jones Plus bridge pickup, custom tone circuit; bar bridge; 12" radius ebony fingerboard; parallel tone bar bracing, tone post, plus internal waffleboard; D'Addario 11-49 round, plain 3rd
Note: This guitar varies from stock configuration in having a TVJ Magnatron at the neck rather than the stock SuperTron.
Thanks!
