TV Jones advice needed

So I've wanted a set of TV Jones for a while now but I'd like some advice.

 

I have 2 options for the guitar to use, both currently loaded with humbuckers. One is my Yamaha SG2000, which is more of a LP type beast and the other is my old 1975 Ibanez semi hollow 335 clone.

 

I also need to choose between Filtertrons and Powertrons. I've read about both and heard both, but really struggling. I'm mostly a clean tones guy, but I also want a fat lead blues sound at the edge of breakup.

 

What say you gurus? What would you do?

 

Also is this going to be a complete PIA to retrofit, even with their universal mount and humbucker rings?

For me it would be no contest' date='Filtertrons in the Ibanez, but I've got rock-a-billy roots . I would try the 500k pots first.[/quote']

 

I concur - I think the Ibanez makes the most sense for the guitar, and the Filtertrons are probably best suited to your style of playing and your preferred tones - it's a bit cleaner than a Powertron, but that doesn't mean you can't get dirty tones with them installed when desired.
