filtrons and humbuckers?

Jetfire

So, I've got a guy local to me selling a start with some filtron style pickups in. Thing is, I don't really need then but it's nearly there to a humbucker set up.

I think I know the answer to this but can filtrons do rock? And are the pick up holes the same size as humbuckers?

Malcolm Young says yes. So does Chris Cornell. Awesome pickups

Yes, and no.

No they are smaller than standard humbuckers by some way ... there are several UK makers (me included) who do Humbucker sized ones however. My own Oil city Cow-T-Rons below:

anything can do rock. Its about how you play, not what you play ;-)

If nothing else, depending what they actually are they might be worth a few quid and you could maybe flog em on and buy some humbuckers instead. Course as Ash points out there are Filtertron types that are the same size as regular buckers and your more original ones which are a bit smaller.

Do you know what model they are G ?

Not yet but I'm still looking at options so it may not happen...
