I was thinking of changing the pickups in my S2 Starla, and was wondering if anyone has used TV Jones. Who knows, might be able to use it as an excuse to buy another.
 
I have used them in Gretsch guitars - never retrofitted them into anything else. I like them okay - truthfully, I still prefer the "high sensitivity" Filtertron over the TV. I am in the minority though.
 
Why not? Legend has it that the original Starla was prototyped with TV Jones Classics in-house. PRS then came up with an in-house version of their own in the original Starla pickups - a more "extended range" version, if you will... but they failed to transmute that magic over to the S2 variant (not that the Starla S2 pickups are "bad" - they just don't sound like the original Starla pickups, or like anything 'tronny' at all).

I think TVJs'd be awesome, personally.
