Anybody out there making some good Gretch style pups beside's TV Jones? I have this crazy Idea to throw some in one of my PRS singlecuts.

Those Lollartrons sound GREAT. I said I'd never pull the harness out of my 335 again but listening to that clip makes me think that the '57 Classics might be in danger of replacement! Wow. I'll wait for my ears to heal before doing that though .

The thing about the Lollartrons is that they're designed as a drop-in fit for a standard Gibson humbucker rout. They're not meant to be a direct replacement for a Filtertron/Gretsch pickup--for that you'd probably want the TV Jones. Not sure if PRS pickups are the same size as Gibsons--I've got no experience with PRS guitars.
Not entirely relevant here, but I've got two Gretsches with TV Jones and one with whatever they're doing for Filtertrons these days, and the Filtertrons are bolder, fatter, and have more output, while the TVs in my Horton Heat have a warm, slightly underwound, more vintage sound. The TVs in my Setzer Hotrod are hot and bright. Love them all, and they're all great for different stuff, but if I could only keep one right now it'd be the Falcon.
