TV Jones TV Classic Pickups
TV Jones makes its channel debut — and the Tone Ranger Guitars Sunset Rider is the perfect showcase. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.
In this episode the TV Jones TV Classic Pickups take center stage — installed in the Tone Ranger Guitars Sunset Rider (humbucker-sized rout), into the Cunningham Amps Custom 35 2x12" via the Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander. The R2R Electric Rangemaster OC44 and Effectrode Tube Vibe join for the second half.

The TV Jones TV Classic is Tom Jones' flagship Filter'Tron-style pickup — the one Brian Setzer chose in a blind sound test against multiple vintage pickups during the development of his Gretsch signature model. This version is built for standard humbucker-sized routing, making it a direct drop-in upgrade for any humbucker-routed guitar that wants brighter, tighter Filter'Tron character without any modification to the body.
The TV Classic in the Sunset Rider's liquidambar and black acacia body with Mastery MV vibrato is explored here in a compact five-chapter format — bridge pickup into the Cunningham Plexi channel, volume knob cleanup with the R2R Rangemaster, neck pickup, Univibe tones, and then Rangemaster fully cranked. The CTS 500k audio taper pots and the Mastery vibrato's tuning stability are highlighted throughout.
