Superb condition
These are the direct filtertron replacement. 
Pro series mount (G6xxx) as they screw into the bracing with four small screws. 
May fit other guitars but these replaced the filtertrons in my falcon for a while. 
£200 plus postage. 

If gold is not you thing, five minutes with a cloth and brasso will get them back to a nickel finish

    Forgive the hijack but, how would you describe the differences in sound between the 'Trons and the T Armonds?

    How very dare you! Gretsch Falcon models need all the bling they can get.  :)
    Be seeing you.

    Haha. Yeah it saddens me to rub off that gold after all the hassle they take mining it, or panning for it by some Alaskan stream… but my falcon and phoenix both have chrome hardware so they looked wrong!! I was leaving them until i’d decided if they were staying! 
    I’m useless at describing the nuances in tonal qualities to be honest.  The Classics and HS filtertrons sound like they have more gnarlyness with drive but the T Armonds keep that twangy spankyness with a  tigher low end. They sound great with drive too but i find them a little bit too sterile snd hi fi.  I’m not arsed if they sell or not as i’d probably give them the brasso attack and get ‘em all grotty and patina’d.  If that is a word.

    Good because the gold layer will be electroplated onto nickel, onto copper, onto the base metal. There is almost certainly no chrome to be revealed.
    Be seeing you.
