"Lindy,

Here are some photos of my latest project, a tribute to the worst president ever. The body & neck are made of 100 year old Poplar with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. This special guitar weighs just under 6.5 pounds. The pickups are your P 90s a stock neck and a 10% over bridge. Only the best pickups for the best guitars in the world."

Thanks,

"With regard to this picture, it was an American Standard Fender ® Tele ® that was a very good guitar but became a GREAT guitar with addition of a Fralin P-92 in the neck and a Fralin Blues Special in the bridge with 4-way switching and a "Vintage" style bridge with brass saddles. It is now the best sounding Tele ® I've ever had with great snap and twang. I can't put it down! I love having the individual tones of the P-92 and Blues Special and the ability to blend them two different ways." Thanks, Craig

"This is my favorite guitar. A 2004 Gibson Les Paul ® Studio loaded with Fralin PAFs in the neck (8.5 ohms) and bridge (9.5 ohms). I also installed push/pull pots so I can split the humbuckers for some great single coil tones and replaced the stock saddles with graphite ones to eliminate string breakage. The neck pickup is also flipped around with the screws facing closer to the bridge for Peter Green and Gary Moore tones. This guitar is truly a tone monster with tons of clarity, warmth, sustain and growl. These pickups flat out ROCK!" Thanks Lindy, Scott

"One year later and my first / joint guitar build from scratch is now finished. Special thanks to my luthier friend Bob at Lakeside Guitars and to Gibson for a proven legend, 59' L.P. guitar design. In honor of the "Black Beauty", all quality parts were used for this L.P. styled project(Fralin 8-9k HB Pups, TonePros, Sperzel Tuners & Schaller Hardware). The sustain is forever on this guitar with the Fralins and they articulate a natural tone, which is crisp, clean & pure. AMAZING, NO MUD ON THE DARKSIDE! These PUPS are powerful, yet very sensitive and responsive to a wide array of pick attacks. The Fralins have exceeded all of my high expectations and they belong on this special guitar. It's all good, man..." Thanks to all, John

"A 1995 Am. Std. Stratocaster – started with a well-known active pickup, which I used for 9 yrs, configured Humbucker in bridge & two single coils. After my last Buckwheat Zydeco tour – I went back to passive pickups. I wanted a guitar with the “true” Strat sound – and guitars that were solely dual coil. This guitar has Vintage Hots and a replaced trem-block. With these modifications It will hold it’s own with Strats many years older." Nick Sonye, Inner City Blues Band / Buckwheat Zydeco

"This one-off Jerry Garcia tribute guitar, assembled by luthier Phil Jacoby of Philtone Custom Guitar Repair in Baltimore, MD, features a pair of Unbuckers (9.0K ohm bridge, 7.5K ohms neck) and a Split Pole 42 (tapped at 6.0K ohms)." Jon

"On the right, my homemade ax. Swamp ash with a Warmoth maple neck, a Brazillian Rosewood fingerboard, and Fralin Blues Special pickups in mounting rings. The sound is single coil all the way but, darker and a little more "brown" than the usual Stratocaster. On the left, a 1957 Les Paul Special that was found in a dumpster. A '57 Gibson in the GARBAGE! Traces of the TV Yellow finish were left but the guitar was mostly grime and rust. It got all new parts, a refret, Cherry Red lacquer, and a rewind job on the P90 pickups by Lindy Fralin. It’s my first guitar with P90s and I can't get enough of it. Much thanks to Lindy for the advice on the old P90s" D.Lowe and R.Goff

"Here is a photo of my Doug Irwin copy complete with Fralin pickups. The neck and bridge are Unbuckers, 7.5k and 8.5k, while the middle is a reverse wound Steel Pole 42. The guitar has a single volume, and single tone control, with the third knob being the Fralin blender pot. The volume pot is also a push-pull that taps the coils of the Unbuckers. This guitar is incredibly versatile, producing tones from thick, creamy Les Paul like, to twangy, sparkling Stratocaster. The pickups really made this project a success. Thanks Lindy!!!" JP
