Has anyone got TVJ Powertrons in their Gretsch hollowbody? How do they sound? Opinions and advice, please.
I know that the 6116 Power Tenny had 2 of these pickups. Were there any other 2 pickup hollowbodies with Powertrons made by Gretsch?

I have put powertrons in 2 6118T for guys that play Vox AC30s. I've got them in
my fully hollow Gretsch Spectrasonic. Fatter in the low mids and more bark in the highs but no where near a dumbuck'n gibson IMO. Crunch rules in bridge position.

I use power trim in my White Penguin neck dearmond mount. By far my most favorite pup.

nope.. just a powertron bridge.. not everything in life needs to be supersized, just super toned :D
