Mojotron® Vintage “Ears” Series: The Definitive 1950s Jangle
Pure, unadulterated vintage chime—designed for the purist.
If you are hunting for the authentic, “hi-fi” sparkle that defined the golden era of rockabilly and early British rock, look no further. The Mojotron® Vintage “Ears” Series is a faithful recreation of the original low-output Filtertron® recipe. These pickups don’t just “twang”—they sing with a three-dimensional clarity that lets your guitar’s natural character shine through.
Featuring the traditional “ears” mounting bracket, these are designed for seamless installation into pickguards or standard mounting rings.
Authentic Recipe, Boutique Response
We haven’t over-wound these to chase modern trends. Instead, we’ve stuck to the classic specifications that allow for maximum dynamic range. By using 42AWG wire and a large 1/4 inch Alnico 5 bar magnet, the Mojotron® Vintage delivers a tight, percussive low end and a crystalline top end that never becomes harsh.
Whether you’re playing through a clean tube amp or adding a touch of grit, these pickups maintain incredible string separation and harmonic detail.
Key Features:
-
Vintage Output: Low resistance for maximum “air” and touch sensitivity.
-
Large Alnico 5 Magnet: Provides the punch and “growl” missing from smaller magnet designs.
-
Versatile Mounting: Traditional “ears” for pickguard or mounting ring installation.
-
Noiseless Performance: Fully wax potted to ensure they remain feedback-free at any volume.

Tone Tip: To truly unlock the “Gretschy” jangle, we recommend pairing these with 500k pots and a quality paper-in-oil capacitor. The low inductance in the neck provides a clarity that is almost acoustic in nature.
