Afraid I'm gonna have to hear some (mic'ed/recorded well clean on neck pickup) before I lay down that kinda dough. Can get gold Gretsch Dynas for $104, and I know what those sound like.
I think $160 is a fair price for a quality, non-mass produced, American-made product.
Yep, what Hellbilly said, fair, if not a bargain and a half.
There's nothing wrong with waiting for the results of others. Compared to Seymour's they sound like a bargain. There will be clips in no time at all.
I don't think TV's price is bad at all...he's a small company doing these things pretty much one at a time with quality american made parts. Compared to Seymour Duncan...these are a steal!
I decided to go for it, for my 6128TCG.
I have complete faith in the TV's. It's just a matter of cash right now..........
Any field reports on the T-Armond yet?
I'm still waiting to see what the output specs are on these babies. Plus, I've obviously gotta save up quite a cash-stash, too.
Mine are on order, and we've exchanged emails on the specifics. Just keep hoping for a mailbox surprise every day.
FG
Woo hoo. my T-armonds shipped today. I ordered them on 3.10.10
Kinda not fair. I ordered these darn things
right after NAMM and the just shipped yesterday. ..oh well. Now I have a set of soapbar T's and no guitar body! Would it be
evil to mount them in my SSLVO?
Do it, TV!
Tavo have them drop shipped over here.
They came!! ..i dont think I'm brave enough to commit heresy on the SSLVO. I am a solid
believer in the tvjones classic.. maybe they just need to belong in the chambered pine tele.
Tavo, it's always a good deed to rid a guitar of humbuckers and put in single coils instead....do it!!!
btw, are the poles shorter than on a vintage Dynasonic, or was that an optical illusion in those NAMM report pics?
Those look great!
Installation followed by clips required!
I hate humbuckers completely having grown up with original dearmonds and single coils but once I got my first gretsch with filtertrons, I was and am in LOVE!! We'll see if I become nostalgic with these.
We'll see what kind of magic Tom Jones has laid upon these little joys! I think I am saved the temptation of hackin into my SSLVO because I've got 10 peoples nocturnes to build over this holiday.
oh yah.. here's a better view of the pickups.. (right clic the photo or open in new window)
Those pickups look great!. These would probably kill in a guitar like an old Guild M75 Aristrocrat!
Too bad there is not a tele pickup mount, otherwise I'd be on these :)
Nooooo don't do it - Leave the SSLVO alone and those beautiful classics...
ya.. they still sit quietly awaiting the knotty pine tele.. suppose to get it this week at some point.
I already modded my SSLVO with a Tru-arc
drilled Stainless bridge and pinup sticker
..well, that mud switch is goin real soon. I hate those.
