Now based in Poulsbo, Washington, the company is best known for creating vintage-style Filter'Tron pickups,[1] using materials and a manufacturing process similar to what was used in the late 1950s and 1960s by Ray Butts and Gretsch.
In the early 1990s, his interest turned to electronics and Jones began to examine pickups and the magnets used in various vintage models.
Jones' "Hotrod" pickup design was chosen because of its sound being the most faithful to the original Filter'Tron.
[2] The company expanded its product line with further 'Tron-branded pickups, like the Magne'Tron, Power'Tron, Super'Tron, and Thunder'Tron models.
Both were designed by TV Jones and manufactured in Japan at the factory where most professional line Gretsch guitars are made.
