Question for anybody with TV Jones pickups: how do they sound compared to stock filtertrons? I have a gretsch country classic (2006, I think?), and the stock pups sound a bit thin to my ears...

I'd suggest youtubing for some comparison. Do you know if you're pickups are the new fender made filtertrons with the alnico magnets, or the older ceramic version. Supposedly the new alnico ones are much better. If you do have the old ones upgrading to the new alnico ones might be a worthy upgrade at about half the price of the tv jones.
I only own filtertrons, so I can't realy compare to the tv jones. Based upon my research it seems opinions are split. I'm sure the TV jones are great pups, but a little pricey too.
Good question, interested to hear the responses as well. I have the same guitar as you.
As far as which mount to order for the Country Classic, here's the response I received from customer service.
"You will need the NE FilterTron mount.
