I love the way these pickups sound...clear but with a good break up when pushed. Pickups are a very subjective thing. So, I'd suggest that anyone try them out first, if possible to see if BT Filtertrons are their sound. I like all of the Filtertron styles. But the BTs have the best balance of naughty and nice for me. The Broadtrons that these replaced are fine pickups and have a brighter than average humbucker tone. But, the Blacktops were definitely an upgrade for me...and perfect (with slight mods to fit) for the G2655t that I installed them in. Recommended to anyone who wants the "Gretsch Sound."

I hot rodded an old twelve string into a Rickenbacher style 12 string awhile back. I wanted brighter pick ups without the hum so I tried blacktops and loved them. I recently obtained a Gretsch Electromatic hollowbody and though the pickups were just fine, they were a little darker than I prefer. So I put these in and voila! The Gretch sound! Blacktops are great little filtertrons without the higher price of a TV Jones and every bit as good IMO. The highs are bright, clear, and plenty snappy, while the lows growl with every stroke. Great little deal, these pick ups.

These pickups are ideal for me -- classic rock, blues and contemporary Christian music. They are wonderful clean but also overdrive with a velvety richness. I installed them in a 44 year old Explorer that my father built so didn't need the solderless feature, but as a standard install there were no troubles at all. Cost effective, great sound and a vintage cool aesthetic.

Very nice sounding pickup, used in the neck position of a Telecaster.

Clearer high notes and slightly lower output than the broadtrons. Sounds more like gretsch than the stock broadtrons on a streamliner.
