  I really hope for a “What is the Rickenbacker sound” video

  Would be cool to see a shootout of the "in-between" pickups such as mini-humbuckers, filtertrons, and p90s

  This “what is the ______sound?” series has been a lot of fun to watch. Congrats on the idea and all the great follow-through. Thanks, Rhett!

  A filtertron cover is &nbsp;also completely unique and actually a lot more effective than a humbucker pickup cover:<br>the separation between the center part of the cover forms what they call a Faraday cage, which actually stops eddy currents from taking away some of the Fidelity of the pick up; this cover design restricts even more noise than the traditional humbucker cover. Genius on the part of the designer, Ray Butts!

  I still have never even played a guitar with true Filtertrons. I think this needs to change. Killer video dude.

  I inherited my grandfather&apos;s 1964 Gretsch County Gentleman. With a Supetron in the neck and a Filtertron in the bridge. Matched with a Bigsby Vibrato, it has a truly unique sound, bright and sparkling. Most people ask about the Supertron. I tell them, &quot;It&apos;s the best neck pick-up I&apos;ve ever heard. I am more than happy to demonstrate for anyone who wants to hear. Any reason to play this cherished guitar is all I need to send me into a colorful soundscape. Played through my VOX, Peavey or Fender amps, it sounds Great!<br>Filtertrons kick ass!

  There was a guy in a band called The Beatles, named George Harrison. He played a Gretsch.

  The Cult and a Gretsch. So awesome. Billy Duffy killed it on that song with a White Falcon and it&apos;s awesome to see you cover it as well. I love Gretsch guitars and they&apos;re my all time favorites.
