Filter-tron pickups
Sorry for this stupid question but are filter-tron pickups humbuckers?

Re: Filter-tron pickups
They're humbuckers, but they have much less output than the standard PAF style 'buckers. In terms of loudness, they're closer to single coils than regular humbuckers. They're sweeter and twangier than PAF-style buckers. Less midrange - PAFs tend to have a big spike in the upper mids.

Re: Filter-tron pickups
I'd be interested in putting those kind of pups in the Messblaster (I'll have to find her a new name tho.. ).
Anybody tried some of the TV Jones different variation of this pup ?

I love the sound from them!
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?
