I put a set in my 1962 Gretsch Country Club just to see how they compared to the original set that came with the guitar and they sound like the PAF FilterTron's I had in a `59 6120Chet I once owned. Needless to say the Ful-Fidelity's are staying in the guitar.
Chris Casello! I used to see him at Robert's Western World in Nashville. He's convinced more than one guitar player that maybe moving to Nashville wasn't such a great idea. LOL.
Great story & TV is on top of it. How nice of her to offer that. Chris Casello has a great channel here on You Tube too. Weird I subscribed a couple of weeks ago & I'm thinking, Hmm I've seen this guy.
I like the Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity pickups in my 2005 Gretsch G6122-1962. They replaced a couple of TV Classics (both neck sans wax) which are also very nice pickups.
3 years later and still not a decent review of these pickups anywhere, as in different amp settings and maybe hitting some power chords and such. $360 plus labor is a serious investment for something that cant be returned.
I agree. I use two Gretsch HS Filtertron neck pickups (in the old days, they didn't distinguish between neck and bridge pickups) that sound just like the Filtertrons on my old 1962 Gretsch G6120.
+Kayla - NOTHING - not a diamond, not a Rembrandt, not a Ferrari - is worth a penny more than someone is willing to pay for it. If you don't want to buy one - don't. If Jones thinks he can get $100K per pickup and can - how does that change your life?
Think about the cost of a guitar (non chinese) its just $30 worth of lumber. Yo can go buy $100 pickups and cry over not having the sound that these pickups have or pay a few extra bucks to have what you want. Im sure part of the cost is to offset the lawyers fees to cover their asses down the road if some family member decides to try and sue them. After all in the states isn't it the mindset to try an make money without having to work for it? I think to have that distinctive classic rockabilly sound is worth the extra coin since no other pickup out there can do it. Some are close but not like these.
@@bonnivilleblackcherry9745 Totally agree. I have a colleague that has been in the guitar business a long time, he was even at the Fender Custom shop for a while. He told me just a few weeks ago that around 2013 the average cost to build a Les Paul was around $250. You pay for marketing and name recognition. If it’s a smaller company you pay for marketing and R&D.
Nice try, but that wasn't country he was playing; it was rockabilly. The music industry assinated rockabilly in favor of country and pop. Rockabilly artists who hadn't switched to country, pop or otherwise got out of the business ended up dead, disabled, drafted or incarcerated. When the LA surf scene and the British invasion managed to bring back rock in 1963 to record stores and radio waves, it was without its rockabilly roots.
The T-bone Walker lick with the mud switch up is the best part of this.

Great guitar picking with the added bonus of Katha, my beautiful childhood friend!
These sound great and the player is awesome

Really nice. But, as a side note, rockabilly was dead by 1959. So the biggest roots of rockabilly are probably Gretsches with DeArmonds.
😊😅
is that per or for a set - hahahha
Sick of this dude always playing country in his demos. Cmon do a Demo for the MASSES!
The masses are foolish sheep, always.
