Antique Soul, Modern Body and Output
TV Jones Starwood Strat pickups harness the spirit of your favorite vintage single-coils, with surprising body and output. Magnets and wire borrowed from TV's T-Armond series give each pickup a weighty low end and sparkly top. As a set, the Starwood Strats offer a musical range of tonal options and good balance between positions. The neck pickup is thick, expressive, and great for leading, with shades of P-90 emerging as you move up the neck. The middle position is clear and quacky — great for that phasey in-between tone. The bridge position is treated to extra inductance by way of added steel for an uncharacteristically thick, juicy tone. Best of all, these pickups require no modifications to your guitar — just drop in and wire up.

TV Jones: handmade, relic-grade pickups
Tom V. Jones's ear for pickups — particularly Gretsch designs of the 1950s and '60s — has earned him a clientele that today includes Brian Setzer, Billy Gibbons, Keith Urban, The Reverend Horton Heat, and Gretsch itself. These pickups are obsessively hand built from the finest parts available, using vintage-spec alnico magnets and voice-tailored metal pole screws. But unlike classic pickups, TV Jones pickups are lightly wax saturated to reduce microphonic feedback onstage. When you want to capture the distinctive look and flavor of the mid-last century, guitarists at Sweetwater proudly recommend TV Jones pickups.
