TV Jones new De Armond mounting

[Billyboygretsch]

TV Jones have introduced a new mounting for the T Series De Armond pick up. This means you can change your standard fitting Gretsch Filtertrons for a De Armond. I have wanted to do this for ages and this will let me put DeArmonds into my 6120 Jnr.
They are for pre order only. May be relevant to a few of you.

ThanKs for the info.....I've thought about putting these in my White Falcon.....only problem is that it is a bit tricky to do with bits of plastic tubing and string to get everything back where it belongs.....will check the TVJ site out.....

Just purchased. They will ship in the couple of weeks.

This link takes you to Mr Jones himself replacing pick ups in a 5120. Might give you a bit more confidence in doing it

Thanks for the link...will have a dekka....I remember fitting a new volume control on my 1964 Epiphone Casino.....it was an absolute nightmare......everything came out very easily.....putting it all back was another story.....

Hi Bill....just watched parts one & two of the video instruction process.....excellent and in depth....shouldn't be a problem if you take your time and approach it methodically......
Are you buying the pickups direct from TVJ?...

Yes Paul am buying direct. I have dealt directly in the past. They answer correspondence extremely quickly are helpful and very friendly. I think they are only taking pre orders direct. Distributors will be a little further down the line.
I purchased Hi Lo tron and Magnatron in the past. They make a big difference - saying that the Gretsch pick ups sound good but you will notice a difference.
I had wanted de Armond in the past but Retro fitting was nigh on impossible. Heard about these coming about 10 months ago
