Sound
There are a few ways to cancel out the hum in a pickup. Some manufacturers feature a “stacked” coil design, which we believe leads to a lifeless and dull tone that lacks character. Lindy’s Hum Cancelling P90 features a Side-by-side coil design that is not stacked and attains a more accurate P90 tone that actually sounds like a P90.
Expect a vintage-voiced P90 tone, with a slightly thicker midrange and rounder highs. This pickup will undoubtedly push your amp hard and provide that snarly midrange and top-end “bark” we have come to expect from a P90. Suitable for many music styles, this pickup can scream and clean up nicely for jazz or blues.
Going even further, you can customize your tone by selecting Overwound and Underwound options. By overwinding a pickup, the tone gets thicker, darker, and dirtier. By underwinding a pickup, the pickup gets clearer and more articulate.
Speaking of versatility, are you looking for a jazzier tone? We can use Alnico 6 Magnets to taper the highs even more and offer you a softer sound. Are you searching for a cleaner and more Fender sparkle? Check out our Alnico Rod Version that features Alnico Rods for a Fender-type sparkle.
Our manufacturing process allows us to achieve unparalleled quality control.
Hum-Cancelling P90s consists of 100% USA-Made parts, including a precision injection mold, USA-Made Steel Screws, and Neodymium magnets. We use aggressive USA-Made Neodymium magnets to make this model scream. Each bobbin is carefully inspected and cleaned before winding.
We wind each pickup by hand, one at a time, using our proprietary “Sectioning” technique, which gives the pickup a sweet, clear tone. Finally, we wax-pot the pickup to prevent microphonics and preserve the pickup for years to come.

90 Genuine Reviews for Hum-Cancelling P90 – Humbucker

Who knew a modern Sterling Cutlass could become a vintage Les Paul Jr and noiseless at the same time. The concept of P90 sound in different pickup sizes is brilliant.
-
HOLY squiggly line, exclamation point, dollar sign and asterisk…what a difference quality pickups make. Used a .033 and .015 cap on install instead of .047s to liven up the tone. I may change them out later to get a bit darker, but man, these deliver the tone I wanted. I always feel like it’s a gamble when I get something blind over the web but this was well worth it. The black nickel covers look great too although I was expecting a bit darker but, just the same, look great on the all black guitar. My renovation project is a true success with these pickups. Great product support as well. A truly innovative design.
-
I really love the stock wound pickup I put in the bridge of my old Univox Lucy. Really has nice output that drives my amp to a nice, articulate crunch just as well as a nice, chimy clean tone.
-
The underwound, noiseless p-90 I bought sounds amazing!
-
I was looking for a pickup that was humbucker sized and sounded EXACTLY like a Gibson p90 pickup but noiseless.
* These 5% underwound pickups didn’t sound exactly like a Gibson p90. I would say they sounded closer to a humbucker than a single coil but they did have some p90 qualities.
* The tone of these pickups still resonated with me and that is why I kept them. They sound wonderful on any setting, clean or dirty. I have them in an 89 LP Custom and they are very versatile.
* I talked to Lindy about my experience and he mentioned that I may like his P94 pickups better, but I enjoy these pickups too much to send them back. I may purchase the p94s in the future though.
* The electric in my house is extremely noisy (even with humbuckers). These humless p90s are absolutely silent!
*Great customer service!

If the electric guitar pickup was in the key of love! When I play the guitar with these pickups it puts my Dad asleep and when my Dad plays it, it puts me to sleep. On my Gibson sg Faded.
Thank you,
Lindy Fralin -
Fantastic pickups!
I play in a country band that does a wide range of covers from the 90s to current hits and I’ve always struggled with the tone of particular tele of mine with a dual humbucker set up. These pickups were a fantastic purchase. They are being used mostly with Morgan amplifiers and they react very well to a wide variety of gain. Perfect for playing chords with overdrive while still retaining clarity and the touch-sensitive nature of the amps break up. They get really badass when you put them behind something with high gain.

Rebirth
So I put a pair of Lindy;s P-90s on an old Gibson ES-175 and the guitar was reborn; I can still hear the wood, but now there’s a rainbow of harmonics that jump out and wanna play. At this point, the guitar is playin’ me..

This is what I was missing
I bought these back in the first half of 2020. The second I got these installed and the guitar strung up, the sound that came out of the guitar was just.. So good. I got a neck and bridge set of them, -5%/+5% wind for neck/bridge, the neck came out feeling very low-end heavy, and the bridge sounds almost perfect. Blending the two together with the middle position on my guitar, there’s a sweet spot I found that makes the guitar sing. The guitar I installed them on was already my favourite to play on, and they only amplified that fact. I knew P90’s we’re the way to go, and I’m glad I spent the money to get these. There’s a very good chance I’ll outfit more my guitars with more of them sometime down the line.

Hi , I’m from Sydney , his is it works for delivery from other countries ?? HUM-CANCELLING P90 – HUMBUCKER!!
2- I would like to put in Gibson 339 what is the best output match for it ??
Thank you ??
-
Hey Gabriel,
Yes – we deliver our pickups worldwide. I would recommend the Stock Output for a 339, they would be perfectly balanced for the guitar.

Put these in my ’61 reissue sg and loving them. I think these pickups blow the stock ’57 classics away!!!!! Great customer service and not a long wait at all for a custom order. Gibson better watch out! This is my 3rd purchase from Fralin Pickups. Thanks again
-
P90 glory! Finally got my P-90 installed into my ‘79 frankenstrat … and oh my! Super easy to order! Great communication as I needed to change a couple of things and it came faster than estimated. Super satisfied
-
Just got an under-wound P90 Hum cancelling for the neck position of an Eastman SB57 and a Pure P.A.F in the bridge. This guitar came alive! I’ve never liked the neck position on Les Paul’s, but this Hum Cancelling P90 is amazing. Great clarity and bite. Now I’m using both positions, equally. The 2 pickups work great together. Even with the amp cranked and an overdrive pedal on, you hit a chord and hear every note sing. HIGHLY recommend.
-
We’ve upgraded a Epi LP for a client with a set of these P90, they sound fantstic. Our customer is overwhelmed with the sonic result, turning a guitar he almost never played into his favorite instrument!
Thank you!

Everything I hoped for.
I had my tech replace the stock Shawbucker pickups in my Telecaster Deluxe with Fralin hum-cancelling humbucker-sized P90s, and th esound is amazing; the clarity, depth, and range of tones, accented by silent operation, has made this guitar the go-to holy grail of my collection. -
A Delightful Pickup. A really nice upgrade to an inexpensive lap steel. Delivery was right on schedule!
-
Dead quiet
I’m a picky tone snob and I have Fralins in two of my guitars. I have the big single in the neck of my strat and a pair of the noiseless p90’s in my TMG Ronnie Scott… I have a love for tone and a hatred of 60 cycle hum and Lindy has solved that equation. Plus if you call for advice the man himself might answer the phone -
Great p90 tone! I have had a lot of p90’s; vintage gibson from the 50’s thru 2020, lollars, kinman, and noiseless and rwrp sets. these bring the tone and leave the noise behind. perfect pickups.
-
Great single pickup! The pickup has that classic p90 vibe with little addition of Fralin p.a.f pickup sound texture (which I really like). Pretty unique sounding pickup I’m very satisfied
