Sorry to be pedantic but your examples of Filtertrons are not Filtertrons at all. They are Broadtrons which as Gretsch themselves say, are quite different. Having said that, the G2215-P90 has to be one of the best bargains around.
I own the G2622-P90, the same in the video, and after watched the comparison I said to myself "am I missing something?". Yes, because those are broadtrons. Thanks for clarifying
A couple critiques: -Put text on the screen of the guitar that is being played. -The demo didn't play around with different sounds, more-so country-twangy, clean tones only -No links to these guitars in the notes -He said 2665 but the model he was referring to is actually the 2655. There is no 2665. -Would have been nice if you discussed how the P90 on the 2215 is a different P90 pickup than on the P90 used on the other Streamliner models
I rebuilt a 92 squire hss, plugged the trem and spring cavities, installed two Banning filtertrons and polish oil paper cap with fender tele 3 way switch....incredible sounds
All the "not a filtertron" comments, this is a very interesting topic to me, because I am in the middle of building a solid body guitar with a p-90 at the neck, and an actual filtertron at the bridge. I had no idea Gretsch was doing that too, just thought it might be an interesting project. The guitar itself is a fender offset body, solid mahogany, with a telecaster setup, as far as the bridge plate with a filtertron in it, and a telecaster switch plate. Might as well have been designed by Mary Shelly, because it is truly a totally frankenstinian creation. Solid black with gold fixtures, and a wenge neck...black wood with dark chocolate grain. I figured I might as well go all the way into unusual, not knowing that Gretsch was already doing it. Very cool seeing guitars in that direction and hearing what they sounded like a bit. It's turning in to a rather expensive and lengthy project, considering it's just a thought, with the hope that it wouldn't sound terrible. Your demo gives me some hope that I'm not just throwing away money on a crackpot whim. I probably would never have done it, except I already have 20 other guitars, and....why not.
There are so many other designs of pups other than hum, P90, filtertron, and single. Gretch Super is a single coil with a lot of extra magnet. Jazzmaster is another. Burns has their own. I would be interested in "other great pickups" vids.
I'm sure several people have already mentioned that your quote unquote Filtertron is a Grestch bucker broadtron. It's basically a cheap ceramic humbucker with a different split/toaster cover. A far cry from a Filtertron or even a Filtertron style Broadtron. Nothing in the Streamliner range has a Filtertron. The closest you could come in that range is a Rally 2 center block that has Hi/Lo trons in it.
Thanks for doing this. You've gone to a lot of effort here but the amp settings are all way too dark to compare the thing that is most unique about a Filtertron, and therefore the way to compare it to any other pickup: the jangly highs.
Yes, those are "not" Filtertron pickup's in the Streamliner's he was demoing. Those pickup's are broadtron's. They do not have the power or voicing of the Filtertron's ! The Filtertron pickup is in a class by itself. It is the most versatile pickup in the music industry. They can chime like delicate silver bells, or snarl like an angry animal. You won't find that range in any other pickup.
I have played the blue guitar a lot with fidelesonics p90s and they sound great. Very versatile but have tue mid range punch with bit more top end. I wish they would put them in the electromatic range too. Trick is to turn up the treble to get more bite unless you want the mid sound. Can add some clarity on top on the creamy sound.
They make a great sounding P90, but are not consistent. I have two guitars of the same model and they sound very different. Neither sound bad, but very different. The broadtron on the other hand is NOT a Filtertron, but a humbucker dressed up to look like one. The one sounds so bad I will not even use it. No matter, it will get replaced like the other one with a HS Filter'Tron. That combo sounds beautiful. Be warned, it is NOT a "drop-in" part and will require time and money to change, but is worth it.
Hello Gretch Custom Shop - I'd like a streamliner, fully hollow, with a floating ebony bridge / bone saddle & ebony tailpiece. With Lollar P90's - And could we have 24 frets & a neck with a satin finish so our hands don't get swaety stuck in a glossy nightmare -
I just order a Gretsch with 2 P90s. The hollow body with a block in the middle. I have a G and L with A P90 at the neck. But I just one with 2. I think they make a great Rockabilly sound and Country sound. A twang with a punch.
Just ordered my Gretsch G2622 P90 in Claret Burst! The FideliSonic™ 90 are very interesting and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Love the tones and sounds those pickups, in that guitar, make. Great video! Cheers! Are they Filtertron or Broadtron?
@@Full_Deflection If he doesn't I do. I bought mine a month ago. Haven't been able to put it down since. G2622 with FideliSonics and V-Stoptail in gorgeous Claret Burst.
Thanks for that. I'm no expert, correct me if I'm wrong: P90 refers to a 'family' of pickups that share some characteristics (?). Where does the Gretsch P90 fit into the family? Pretty representative? An outlier? Is the Gretsch P90 constructed to lean toward the 'Gretsch sound'? Is this an impossible question?
Ok, you demonstrated the Gretsch G2215 p-90, the Gretsch G2622T fidelisonic p-90, and the Gretsch G2655T broadtron which is not a filtertron. Please get your facts straight.
Was hoping for real tone comparison between P90 and Broadtron, but my ears can’t tell much difference with this play style. Perhaps something a bit slower with some full chords thrown in. Still can’t decide. Uggghh.
Hi I got gretsch 2410 tg, with BT pick ups. I find them very hollow and muddy. Before buying gretsch I played epiphone wild cat and fell in love with the sound but looks and aesthetics didn't impress me. As I am new to electric guitar I loved the specs, looks and all about gretsch. Can you suggest a P90 replacement for my 2410 BT. Where I can get nice clear punchy tone. As I really feel BT lower string response is very muddy, woffy and hollow, where as when I played wildcat I could jut play it like acoustic finger picking and some jazzy chords and licks without any trouble. Your help and input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance 😊
Thickness and brightness pickup chart was cool.but should have had Mini Humbucker in there. Especially since Gretsch have them in some of their guitars.
Personnaly, I own Gibson guitars with P90 on one hand and Gtresch with BTron on the other hand, completly different and the world is perfect, no need to have a mix for the while ... 😊
I have yet to fully understand why a P90 in the neck is so popular. Why would you put a rolled-off, boomy pickup in the most rolled-off, boomy position? I feel like a p90 is perfect for the bridge position where as a pickup that compresses low end and has more clarity would be best for the neck.
They became a typical neck pickup because they roll off lows and push upper mids.Def matters if the guitar is solid or semi hollow; in a Tele, they are nicely balanced.In a semi hollow, they're fine clean, but seem to get muddy when driven.There are some vastly different specs out there , as well.Dosen't pay to generalize, with so many options available.
That is what I have. I put a HS Filter'tron in the bridge. Not a drop in part, but worth the work. The two pickups compliment each other so well it is unbelievable. Although not cheap, the HS is right in range of any decent pickup...and worth every dime.
I like the p90s but...clean they sound like they dampen the sustain or something. They need a bit of dirt /effects. Plus some are REALLY noisy. I love the sound of them on records tho... I dunno? Never been happy with them in practice-band situations tbh always went back to SC's FTs or HBs.
those are NOT Filtertrons at all. The video with its audio samples is pointless, sorry man. Anyways, I swapped those Broadtrons in my Streamliner and replaced with Seymour Duncan Phat Cats (sort of P90s), and the guitar came to life.
hey agree.. i have the grestch g2215 , the p90 neck is great for me but this fake filtertron on bridge is very bad... what is your experience with the phat cat on bridge?
@@macauley70 really not bad at all! Definitely better than the stock Broadtrons… much clearer and crisp. And honestly, also from a purely esthetic point of view.. wonderful!
Late to the party but I just bought the g2215 and am really loving the p90 but think the Broadtron is a horrible mismatch...in my guitar, the Broadtrron output is much less than the p90 and they sound like a muddy humbucker to me...I tried raising the pick up height on it and lowering the pickup height on the p90 and that got me closer, but I think the Broadtron is a dud when paired w. the p90. I think I;m going to put a Filtertron type pickup in the bridge....GFS offers one that is a bit hotter than the Gretsch one...comments?
I don’t know if the look would be right; aren’t humbuckers a bit wider so you’d still need some sort of pickup ring. I personally am swapping the bridge pickup in mine because it is microphonic. I am going to get a DiMarzio Humbucker sized P90 they sell. Gets me what I would consider 90% of the normal p90 tone without having to mod the body and compromise the finish.
Seems to me people buy to mod, the p90 fits where the Filtertron or Broadtron fit without much modification required. Otherwise the purist knows why he is buying a Gretch. Why would I buy a Gretch only to swap out the pups to have it sound like a Gibson? I did see a pair of original p90s on Reverb going for $22k. Dont know if they ever sold. But still, you cant say a Gretch is cheap and then slap in a pair of 4 digit pups and say you got a deal.

@@rickclogston5205 Ok. So I've since learned that this is basically a P90. The staple elements are not themselves magnetic but link to bar magnets beneath just like the screw polepieces on a regular P90.
i’d say go try one in a shop if you can, but for me, i have medium large hands/fingers, i can comfortably go up to about fret 17/ maybe up to 20 to play but not super great up there

The broadtron is more of a typical humbucker, not a true filtertron.
I was just about to say that. The pickups demo’s here are not filtertron pickups.
@@BushidoPhoto yes. Only real filtetron (from Gretsch) is Gretsch HS. Broatron, black filtetron etc are just..normal humbuckers.

It was called a P13, and these first appeared around 1940, and were replaced by the P90, which first appeared around 1945 in the ES125, et al... P13s had nickel covers, so thanks to the war demands on metal, and presumably, an easier/cheaper production method, the P90 became the pickup of the moment around 1945, well before 1952, as mentioned in the video.
As an aside, Gibson "sold a boxcar full of P13 pickups, to Harmony Guitars in Chicago", (according to urban myth), though it must have been several boxcars full, as they continued to use them on lap-steels, and in several archtop models (eg, Espanada) until around 1962.
Obvious elephant in the room: a staple pickup is quite a different pickup design to a P90.
