Description

Introducing, “the LAMBER'TRON”. A true vintage-correct size replacement for your "Filter'Tron" sized pickup sets. This set brings balance back to your Gretsch guitars or other "Filter'Tron" equipped axes.

NECK: The neck pickup features a rich texture that doesn't flub out on the lower strings, allowing you to use an aggressive pick attack and have plenty of clarity to cut through any lead line.

BRIDGE: The bridge pickup brings a girth to your lead tone that has been missing from so many other industry standard pups of similar design. The sparkle and sizzle that cuts through virtually any mix are there, but the amplitude across the EQ curve is drastically improved, giving you a palpable 3-dimensional tone that is not overly compressed from the start of your signal chain. 

Finally... a Filter'Tron-style pickup that allows you to use your effects and modelers' capabilities without losing half of your dynamic signal before it even reaches the tuner. Enjoy clarity, articulation, cut, AND dynamics in one tone package.

We've gone back to the drawing board for this pickup set; literally designing our own injection molded bobbins, unique AlNiCo cast magnets, and multiple custom baseplates to cover any installation application, all maintaining the exact vintage dimensions so they drop right in.

Technical Specs

This set features a "3-wire conductor", (+), (-), and an independent ground. This allows you to correct for phase if you decide to combine a Lamber'Tron with another manufacturer's set in the middle position(s). This does not allow for coil-splitting.

Sound so Good! Super happy!

Neck pick up is much more clear than my stock filtertrons! Neck has some good bite! Super happy! Only negative the connection kit that i payed extra for didn't bite the wires as good as hoped. The wires pulled out a couple times. Maybe had a faulty set? Soldered the connections in the end as i was afraid the wires would inadvertently pull out of the quick connection…..

My Favorite Tron

Can’t think of a better upgrade. Have been beyond pleased with the swap to the Lamber’Trons! Kurtis killed it again, no surprise!

True Tron Transcendence

Worth. The. Wait. There's SO much versatility and clarity. All the pros of traditional filtertron and PAFs with none of the bad. Pairs well with any style amp.

Legendary Lambertrons

These are some truly solid pickups. This was my first experience owning a filter-tron style pickup, but I have experience playing friends' guitars equipped with TV Jones. These pickups are certainly unique, marrying an extremely clear and articulate response and typical filter-tron jangle/chime with a balanced low end, just as advertised. Clean tone is phenomenal and I've found a new love with the middle pickup position. These pickups are lower output, however I was easily able to compensate for the style I play (mainly edge-of-breakup worship) by raising the pickup height (Kurtis includes a great tool for setting this correctly) and turning up my amp (modeler) gain. I'm very careful when choosing what gear to buy and can confidently say these pickups met and exceeded my high expectations. Kurtis' passion and attention to detail are evident in all his workmanship and these Lambertrons are no exception. I would love to see an option for a higher output version in the future!

Lambertrons!

I’m not the best at describing but what I know for sure is the lambertrons made my mid level Gretsch sound better than or at the very least as good as a high end Gretsch! I love them, and the customer service has been great when I had questions. 10/10 I recommend!

From the Gound Up

A New Era

We went the extra mile with this one. With the exception for the iconic shaped “Filter’Tron” cover, we redesigned every part from scratch. Multiple baseplate models, injection molded bobbins, SLA printed spacers, two custom AlNiCo magnets, new screws, and much more.

Made in USA

We fully believe a product should be able to stand on its own, where the location of manufacturer doesn't automatically qualify/disqualify it from a perceived quality. That said, we're proud to design, manufacture, wind, fulfill in house here at our shop in Southern California.

Crafted with Care

Premium Materials

We exclusively use nickel-silver covers made in the USA. They are then plated according to the desired finish. Nickel-silver is known to be the most transparent sounding material available for passive pickups.

Flexible Applications

The Lamber'Tron can be mounted in (5) possible scenarios. Two Gretsch platforms, one pickguard mount, and two more adapter ring mounting options for Gibson and Fender. Should you purchase a single pickup, neck or bridge, they come with a 3-wire isolated grounded shielded Gavitt wire allowing you to correct for phase when combining with an non-Lambertones pickup set.

Refresh Your Tone

Replace Old Rings

Have grungy or cracked pickup mounting rings? We have OEM Gretsch mounting rings in stock and ready to refresh your axe.

Special Gift

Every pickup set is shipped with a special gift for you to enjoy. We're very passionate about this and hope you love it as much as we do, so tag us in an Instagram/Facebook post and we'll repost it to our story!
