ага, спасибо. А где-то можно у них спеки посмотреть? Сопротивление и т.п...?
Инфы именно по стоковым фильтертронам немного, завалялся только один документ со спецификациями, надо только выцепить из него главное)

First we have to distinguish between Filtertrons of the vintage era and modern reissue Filtertrons. From 1958 through sometime in the 70s, Gretsch used various permutations of "original" Filtertrons, as developed by Ray Butts in the mid-50s. Over time, details of materials are sure to have changed - but the Filtertron of the years 1958 through the mid-60s became the "standard" for Gretsch.
After Gretsch rose from the ashes in the 90s, Filtertrons were reintroduced. But they were manufactured (like the guitars) in various Asian locations, and most thought the new ("regular," I guess) Filtertrons looked more than sounded like the originals. The main issue was that they used ceramic magnets and were wound hotter than originals, giving them a harsher, more one-dimensional, more generic tone than the originals.
Some time in the 90s, TV Jones (master guitar tech and builder, and Brian Setzer's guitar guy) cracked the code of making Filtertrons that REALLY sounded to most ears like the pickups of the vintage years. This involved not only a lot of research on his part, but some creative engineering. For one thing, he used AlNiCo magnets, and carefully experimented with wire, winds, and tension - but he also has to do some proprietary 'stuff' to modern AlNiCo magnets to make them respond like the old ones.
First his pickups were popular after-market mods to modern Gretschs, then Gretsch started including them as stock items in various guitars.
In late 2002-03, when FMIC took over development, management, and marketing of Gretsch guitars, one order of business was to improve the NON-TV "Filtertrons" then included in most guitars. Gretsch product managers spent time with TV, and he advised them on changes to the Filtertrons which would improve them.
High Sensitive Filtertrons were the result, and they have been the standard on most Gretsch models since 2003-04. They're still manufactured in Japan (by Tokiwa), but they're TV's designs, and they're built around AlNiCo magnets.
Moral of story: "regular" Filtertrons and High Sensitive Filtertrons are not both available in the same time frame.
First came vintage Filtertrons (1958-197~). Then the first reissue Filtertrons (1989-2002/03). Then TV Jones Classics (his evocation of vintage models). Then High Sensitive Filtertrons (2003-present).
In the current line, in various guitars, you can get High Sensitives, TV Classics, TV Super'Trons, and TV Power'Trons.
The most common question these days is how High Sensitives compare with TV Classics.
