Gretsch FilterTron Gold Bridge Pickup
Item: FE0062875100
The FilterTron "Electronic Guitar Head" was introduced by Gretsch in 1957 and actually pre-dates the Gibson humbuckers as the first pickup to Filter out the electronic hum normally associated with single-coil pickups, hence the name. Often associated with guitars like the Country Gentlan used by George Harrison and a favorite of Chet Atkins, FilterTrons have a warm tone with great sustain. This is a Gretsch FilterTron pickup, in gold, for bridge position.
