Proudly Made in Canada
Sadly, they can not. The mostly discontinued English and No Ears Mount are made with different backplates than the Universal Mount.
The T-90 and T-Armond are the only pickups we still sell in the English and No Ears Mount.

FAQ

Does TV Jones make noiseless single coil pickups?
TV Jones single coil pickups are not noiseless because we believe doing so can negatively affect the integrity of the tone. That being said, our single coil pickups are wound so the middle position (when 2 pickups are on) buck the hum.
Quick tips to combat hum:
- Turning your position in relation to the amp will lessen hum.
- A pedal device called a Noise Gate.
Can I split TV Jones pickups?
All of our humbucking pickups (except the Ray Butts) come with 4-Con wire either standard or as an option. This gives you the ability to use multiple different wiring schemes in your guitar.
Will my English Mount or No Ears Mount pickups work with Universal Mount Clips?
Should I use a bridge or neck pickup in the middle position of my guitar?
If you have a 3 (or more) pickup guitar, we recommend using our neck pickups in the middle pickup position(s).
What Is the Universal Mount?
Universal Mount (and Clip System)
Around 2013 we turned the No Ears and English Mount into the Universal Mount. We no longer sell the NE and EM mounts unless it is a unique situation.
The Clips (aka “ears”) in the Clip System can attach to the Universal Mount pickups via screws for ring or pick guard suspension. You can also just use the wood screws and mount straight into the body. The Universal Mount pickups are shipped and sold with the Clip System.
If you have an older style (No Ears Mount) pickup that you want to mount in suspended style, there is a work around.
Make a skinny long bar out of aluminum, or hardwood. This will be used as your “ears” or “clips”. Drill holes and to mount to pickup via wood or machine screws through the top of the pickup. Then drill 2 more holes where the pickup can attach to the ring/pick guard via springs and screws. Tap the hole to use with machine screw. Give us a call if you need a more in depth walk through.
