Never even heard of them until today. How new are they?
Sorry. Don't have any demos, but I have them in my 6118. They sound fantastic.
Pretty new.

Thanks , they are in ads for the new Guitars but no samples or demo !
What its worth, I like them better than the Blacktops and HSFTs.

From experience, I'd say that they are a tad more aggressive than regular Hi-Sensitive Filtertrons, but with very similar voicing. I actually like them just a bit better than HSFT's for rock scenarios.
Think HSFT's "turned up to 11" instead of "10". There is a very slight mid-boost, but not as much as, for example, TVJ Powertrons.

I really like the pickups in my RF Black Falcon... they can be hotter and more full throated than some ... and if you play the volume and tone knobs it's got fairly classic Gretsch chime and richer "modern" tones heading into 335 territory... plays well with other guitars in a mix.
Definitely worth having as a contrast to the RB's I have in a Smoke which does lower-output "vintage". I have two Electromatics ... with Blacktop Filtertrons and with HS Filtertrons, and there's a similar contrast between those two options.

Hi, I recentley got a 6120 TG players edition with the 67s and I absolutely love them, very versatile.
Here is a demo:

The all-new FT-67 Filter’Tron™ humbucking pickups were designed to capture authentic vintage Gretsch voicing but with a more well-rounded tone for modern playing styles. This powerful pair of pickups provide open and pristine top-end chime, glassy midrange, robust low end and balanced harmonics for tone that blends seamlessly with other instruments.
CONTROL SET
The control complement — separate bridge and neck volume controls, three-way pickup toggle switching, no-load master tone and master volume — allows for infinite tonal variations. Our “Squeezebox” capacitor adds smooth vintage tone while the all-new treble bleed circuit lets your guitar retain all of its tasty clarity when rolling the volume control down.
MASTER VOLUME WITH TREBLE BLEED CIRCUIT
Thanks !

Thanks!
I played some in a 6122 PE. They sounded good in that. Probably the best 6122 PE I've played. It balanced well. Action and playability were good and it sounded very Gretsch.
