Can you put filtertrons in a projet??
I'm thinking of yet another Gretsch (this'll be my 6th!) - I'm kinda digging a pro-jet but have noticed the pups seem to completely sink into the body - making the routings quite wide - does anyone know if filtertrons will fit - and if the standard bezels are wide enough to cover the entire routing hole??

On TV Jones site, he has a video that shows how to do it. Yes it can be done but some routing is necessary. |

Definitely check out the link to TV Jones site. If I remember correctly, it's very detailed and shows the process step by step. And yes, the standard bezels will cover the holes but you may have to add a bit of wood underneath to screw them onto.

I just dropped Filtertrons into my 2009 ProJet, no routing was required.
You'll need to put some thought into mounting them though, the tv jones website will help you there.
Oh...I didn't bother with the bezels, I like the way it looks without them, my ProJet is black.

I am on the same path. I want the Electro chambered body (wish they had better color choices) but cannot stand the look of the recessed pickups. It looks horribly cheap in my opinion. However the TV's in there look fantastic. |

May we see some photos? I think the bezels would look killer. |
