Hum-Cancelling P90 With Alnico Rods FEATURES:
The Hum-Cancelling P90 with Alnico Rods is the perfect pickup for those looking for a cleaner, more articulate P90 pickup. It has an airiness and sparkle not found with adjustable pole pieces. Also, It’s great for those looking to balance a dark guitar. You’ll find that this pickup stays clean, while still having a fat, beefy midrange and thickness commonly found with P90 pickups.
Even though we are calling this pickup a P90, it’s not quite a P90. P90s are known for a snarly midrange and a stiffer top end. The Alnico Noiseless P90 is softer, cleaner, and has that ‘sparkle’ that you’re familiar with! This pickup is available in all our Soapbar and Dogear versions.
Features:
- Alnico Rods for a Fender-type sparkle
- Soapbar / Dogear construction
- Hum-free design for completely noiseless operation
- Raised Beveled D String for optimal string balance
- 49.5mm Standard Spacing, with an option for 52mm Bridges (Black & Cream Soapbar only)
- Wound with USA-Made 42 Gauge SPN Wire
- Backed by our 10 Year Warranty against manufacturing defects
- Wax Potted to prevent microphonics and corrosion
- 30-day Risk-Free exchange policy

All sound samples are played from Neck Position First and Bridge Position Last.
The Alnico Noiseless P-90 will sound like a regular P90, but with a familiar Fender sparkle on the top-end. Clean and articulate when playing without distortion. You’ll find that the nuances of your playing will come out as this pickup “breathes” more than it’s compressed P90 counterpart. With distortion, you’ll find a smooth, late breakup with a familiar Fender Strat-type tone. Expect a clear pick attack and a warmer midrange.
This midrange of this pickup is pronounced as well. You’ll find that the Alnico Noiseless P90 will still sound fat and beefy!
Are you looking for more of a traditional P90 tone? You won’t find that here. This model features a more “Fender” quality to it. If you’re looking for a traditional P90 tone, check out our P90 and Hum Cancelling P90!

Amazing pups! Got a triple set of these in a Jazzmaster, beautifully punchy and with, in my taste, perfect clarity. 100% stupid strumsmile over here. Highly recommended!
These P90 hum-cancelling pick ups were installed in my Casino. They are nothing short of amazing. The tone and articulation of these pickups have made this my new go-to guitar. It sounds great live or recorded and no hum.
The neck pickup cover is slanted just like the original pickup and they both drop in perfectly with no alterations. Don’t hesitate to upgrade your Casio. With these outstanding pickups.
Just got my AlNiCo Hum-Cancelling P90 pickup today and installed it, and it’s just what the doctor ordered! It lives between a 5% underwound neck position Hum-Cancelling P90 and a standard Hum-Cancelling P90 at the bridge. This gives the “notch” positions on the five-way lever switch all the ducky clucky quacky Stratty flavor that I wanted in those positions, replacing a 5% underwound middle Hum-Cancelling P90. Now I have the recently-removed Hum-Cancelling P90 neck pickup for an upcoming guitar build project…. As Captain Barbossa said in the POTC movie, “Waste not!” 🙂
Just installed a set of Lindy’s P90s dog ear hum canceling pickups with Alnico rods in my 2022 MIC Epiphone Casino. I have customized a couple of my strats with Seymour Duncan pups over the years and probably would have purchased SD Antiquity p90s had they been noiseless and available in chrome cover. So glad they didn’t!!! After extensive research to find exactly what I was looking for, I ordered from Lindy and am blown away by the transformation to an inexpensive import guitar. The sound and response is stellar and my Casino in now silent ( previous hum was killing me). I’m sold on Fralin pickups and will be using them on future builds and swap outs. Don’t hesitate to upgrade your guitars with Fralins. Thanks Lindy!!!!
Yes another five star and well deserved! I have been making electrics including the necks since the early 1980’s . I worked at Charvel San Dimas before Jackson . I have used many pickups including my own mfg and these hum canceling soap bar pickups are some of the best ever made ! If you need P-90 pickups these are the ones to get for no noise and beautiful musical tone !
Great tone in my Yamaha Revstar. Extra chime in the neck pickup (love it!) and no piercing highs from the bridge.
I put these in a cheap Fender Bullet Strat and it is now my go to Ax! I absolutely love these pickups. P90 looks with Fender sparkle is right. These aren’t as dark as a vintage P90 but they have that P90 growl I like. They also clean up excellently and keep that Fender sparkle which is why I purchased them.
Highly Recommended!
