The Eternal Novatron Humbucker is a one-of-a-kind creation designed to bring the clear, chimey brilliance of a classic Gretsch Filter’Tron into a standard humbucker footprint — no extra routing or modification required.
With its low-output wind, unique tonal voicing, and striking cosmetic options, the Novatron offers a sound that’s as distinctive as its look — making it the perfect choice for tone connoisseurs seeking something beyond traditional humbucker warmth.
Unique Voice — Airy, Bright & Resonant
Tonally, the Novatron delivers a beautifully open, almost resonator-like voice, with crisp highs, tight lows, and airy mids that work particularly well in semi-hollow guitars or for adding brighter, articulate character to the neck position of solid-bodies — especially Teles or hardtail Strats.
Whether you’re playing rockabilly rhythms, chiming clean chords, or rootsy fingerpicked leads, the Novatron offers exceptional clarity and touch response, all with a touch of that elusive Gretsch-like sparkle.
Striking Visual Options
To complement its unusual sonic personality, the Novatron is available with a choice of eye-catching covers:
- Grille Cover – Classic '50s inspired design
- H-Gate Cover – Retro-modern elegance
- Open Frame Cover – As featured in our demo video, perfect for showing off the optional gold insert
Whether you’re after vintage charm or bold modern flair, the Novatron looks as stunning as it sounds.
