Cabronita build

There's a Powertron Plus in the TV Master if you fancy a compare and contrast ;)

Or just a regular PowerTron in a different TV Master...

That vid prompted me to add it to the black one :)

You went with a PowerTron Plus though didn't you?

I'm finding this all very confusing ;)

Just to be clear: is it a normal PowerTron in the video you posted of the White TV Master?

Also: is Wez's lovely Cabronita for you, Juansolo, or neither of you?

Clarity is a wonderful thing. My pickup, in the white TV Master, is a regular PowerTron, not a PowerTron Plus.

Wez's lovely Cabronita is, sadly, not for me.

Thanks for clearing that up Andrew :)

I think Gretsch pickups sound fantastic. But its hard to know how to work the Gretsch look into something I feel I can pull off on stage. They aren't exactly stripped down and metal, though they are nice looking in their own way. Perhaps I like the Billy Bo and also the rectangular ones best.

I may (eventually) put TV Jones' in something - but there again, it needs the right look of the guitar to have them looking good. I know TV Jones do humbucker versions, but a look/project isn't obvious. I have a Gordon Smith V that could be a candidate, but not sure the pickups would seem right in that axe.

I'm putting a set in a '72 Thinline Tele.


Well, when I say "I'm putting", I mean that in a theoretical sense, obviously.

Going back to Wez's Cabronita build.. I think it would look even more awesome in that deep Gretsch orange colour with a black pickguard.

 :o

That's so cool!

Is that an actual Fender custom shop guitar?  Makes sense, since (I think) they own Gretsch nowadays don't they?

I love that orange colour.  I have (here we go again.... :roll: ) a Tele body in sunset orange, but it's not the one which is getting the TV Jones pickups.

(Sorry, that's it, I haven't got any more never-to-materialise Tele projects to go on about now.  :oops: )

Yup, was a toss up between the two as BFG uses both. Decided to try the slightly hotter one.

Indeedy ;)

...as does Martin (MJW) come to think of it :P

or this:

Much as I love Fanos, I definitely prefer the Fender in this case.  Not so keen on this TC6.

i always find arch/carved top tele's look too bloated
