FS: Gretsch BT65A 'Broadtron' Nickel PAIR from Japanese Players Edition

What's Hot

edited June 2023 in Parts £
These are the Tim Shaw designed and more 'PAF' style trons which are fitted to the Japanese Players' Edition Gretches with the 'BT' suffix.  They have not been made available by Gretsch for sale on their own so are difficult to come across.

I pulled these fully working Broadtrons from my lovely Gretsch G6228-BT in Cadillac Green

I'm selling the pair complete with the pickup rings as pictured.  (note, the Broadtrons are a slightly different size to the Filter'trons so these pickup rings are 'bespoke'.
 
£200 + your postage preference

There are no markings / writings on the pickups so this photo is to show that the Broadtron with the black wire / brass back is the NECK pickup and the one with the grey wire / silver back is the BRIDGE pickup.

Hit me up with any questions you have about them and I'm happy to answer.

    I sold a pair of these so, to pass on what might be some helpful intel, these pickups are the same size as a regular set of humbuckers. That you're selling them with the correct mounting too should make these a fairly straightforward swap for someone's HH bearing axe.
    This link might prove helpful too, where gauging where these bad boys sit in the hierarchy of pickups?

    If not, feel free to ask me or admin to delete it and GLWTS too.

    Thanks Alice, it was your good self that inspired me to go ahead and swap these out for TV Jones ‘Classics’ which are more my style.
