Dynatron mount WITH ENCLOSURE (please?)
Hello there, Mr TV! And congrats with the new user forum. Looks cool! I have a Gretsch Country Club with Dynasonics, and sometimes I feel I would like to have another pickup in the bridge position. The Dyna in the neck position feels absolutely great for clean jazz and is basically just a great sounding pickup in that position. But in the bridge position, I sometimes feel I need a bit more "rock". Especially with the hollow body, the Dyna gets really nasty and twangy, but sometimes a bit too gritty for my taste. I'd like a bit more compression. A Powertron in a Dynatron mount seems to be the obvious choice... Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in the current Dynatron mount, you have to use your own Dynasonic enclosure to fit the TV jones PU in, right? If I buy your pickup and install the thing, I'm stuck with a perfectly good sounding Dyna without the housing to mount it in anything else... While I was thinking to put it in a Telecaster-project... Any chance you might offer the Dynatron mount with a housing? (please, also in gold version??) Thanks!

We will offer the DeArmond / Dynasonic pickup cover in the near future. For now I would try a TV Classic or TV Classic Plus in the bridge position. The Power'tron assembly is taller than the TV Classic and Classic Plus assemblies and may be too tall for guitars with a lower neck angle. Thanks, TV Jones Oct. 16 2007

We are able to make the TV Classic bridge shorter by not using shims under the bobbins, but with the Power'tron bridge the bobbins are 1/8" taller. ( to hold more magnet wire) It must be tall. Sometimes too tall for the Dyna'tron mount. Some guitars have a low neck angle keeping the strings closer to the body which gives you less clearance. Thanks, TV Jones Oct. 17 2007

We hope to have DeArmond covers an option on the Dyna'tron mount very soon. Please check the website for updates. Thanks, TV Jones May 13, 2008
