Mojotron® Foiltron: The Gold Foil Cult Classic, Redefined
Vintage “Teisco” growl meets the Filtertron® footprint.
The original gold foil pickups of the 1960s have long been the secret weapon of indie rockers, slide players, and tone seekers looking for something “outside the box.” With the Mojotron® Foiltron, we’ve captured that legendary Teisco-spec magic and housed it in a standard Filtertron-sized casing.
Designed to drop straight into La Cabronita® routes, these pickups offer a unique tonal landscape that sits perfectly between a single-coil’s chime and a humbucker’s body.
Authentic Teisco DNA
We haven’t just made a pickup that looks the part—we’ve stayed true to the quirky, mid-century recipe that made the originals famous. By utilizing rubberised ceramic magnets and a precise winding of 44AWG wire, the Foiltron produces a sound that is famously “lo-fi” in character but “hi-fi” in performance.
Expect a bright, percussive attack with exceptional string definition, underpinned by a full, harmonically rich low-mid response. Whether you’re playing clean or through a fuzzy cranked amp, the Foiltron remains articulate and incredibly sensitive to your playing dynamics.
Key Features:
-
Teisco-Spec Build: Rubberised ceramic magnets for that authentic vintage “honk.”
-
High-Definition Clarity: 44AWG wire ensures every note in a chord is heard.
-
Cabronita Compatible: A direct fit for La Cabronita® routes and Filtertron mounting.
-
Modern Reliability: Fully wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback—a major upgrade over the 60s originals.
Technical Specifications (Calibrated Set)
Performance & Installation
The Foiltron is the ultimate choice for players who want to stand out from the crowd. It’s a percussive, “plucky” pickup that excels in slide guitar, garage rock, and alternative styles.
-
Everything Included: Ships with high-quality mounting screws.
-
Direct Fit: Perfect for custom builds or upgrading any guitar with a standard Filtertron route.
Tone Note: Because of the unique magnetic field of the rubberised ceramic bar, the Foiltron has a “bloom” to the notes that you won’t find in standard Alnico designs. It’s the perfect antidote to “boring” tone.
