TV Jones Classic vs Classic Plus for Bridge only guitar

[BigToeify]

Hi All. I have a 2010 PRS SE Custom Hollowbody. I am making this a bridge only guitar. I have narrowed down my search to TV Jones Classic vs Classic Plus. I play strictly rhythm. 50% of the time I play clean, 50% slightly dirty/driven. Sound wise I’m into the Beatles, Petty, early AC/DC( Malcolm’s tone that’s not that overdriven). Nothing modern. Which would you choose and why? Thank you!

The plus is better for the bridge , I have both . You might also consider the Billy Gibbons Power Tron , or the Brian Setzer I have them all as well as Supertron's .

How do the Setzer and the plus compare sound wise? Since I’m only having a bridge pickup I need it to be clear enough for chords and arpeggios. Edge of breakup and a little more sometimes. I don’t want anything too muddy.

In order of clarity Filter tron , Setzer, Filtertron Plus , Powertron , Powertron plus the Supertron is a blade style Fitertron great for those who like to bend as you don't lose signal. They make a bass version called a thuntertron that's quite awesome as well .. Have them all .

Where do the classic and classic plus fit in there? I’m worried about a high output pickup being too muddy. That’s why I was leaning towards the classic and classic plus. But I did see the Setzer is between the two as far as output goes. How do the Setzer and the classic plus compare sound wise?

This older thread looks done, but thought I'd chime in, no pun intended.

None of the GTV Jones are muddy. I have Classic, Classic plus and Powertrons. The classic is the most clean and twangy, and probably my favorite. But, the Classic plus has more output and is a bit darker but still twangy. if I was doing bridge only, I would go Classic Plus or Powertron.

Curious as to how you made out.

I’m curious also. I wonder how many people have tried TV Jones pups in a PRS? I’ve always wondered about them in my 07 satin singlecut.

I am thinking of trying TV Jones Starwood Humbucker in my SE SAS. You can't really split low out HB's and the Starwood has near identical stats, so I can keep all the options with the switching.
