All P90, No Hum.

Want to learn more about our Hum-Cancelling P90? Here's all the information you'll need:

Hum-Cancelling P90 FEATURES:

The Fralin Hum Cancelling P90 is one of the best-selling models we make, and it’s easy to see why. Genuine P90 tone and dead-quiet performance? What’s not to love?

Whether you play Rock, Jazz, Country, R&B, or Funk, you will undoubtedly stand out in the mix with the pronounced pick attack, crystal-clear lows, and round highs. And the best part? Zero hum. Available in a Soapbar, Dogear, and Humbucker, you can rest assured knowing you can get the Fralin P90 tone in any guitar you have.

Features:

  • Lindy Fralin Original Design: True P90 Tone, No Hum
  • Multiple Outputs available for fine-tuning your Pickup’s voice
  • Strong and bold – lots of midrange and snarl
  • USA-made Neodymium Magnets for aggressive tone and output
  • Compensated Bridge for even volume across all pickups
  • Adjustable USA-Made Steel Pole pieces for fine-tuning string balance
  • Hand-wound with our “Sectioning” technique for unique, dynamic tone
  • Hand-built for unrivaled quality control
  • Backed by our 10-Year Warranty on manufacturing defects
  • Risk-Free 30-day exchange policy

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.

Listen to our friend Mike Hermans play our Hum Cancelling P90, only in a soapbar format.

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.

    I am looking to get a noiseless dogear set for my Epiphone Casino. I was thinking short neck (5% underwound)/standard bridge (5% overwound). Would this work for a balanced set? Also, do you also recommend a shim for the bridge to bring it closer to the strings?

    Hey Dan, if you purchase a "Stock" set, the neck is already -10% from the bridge, and is very balanced. Any additional underwinding / overwinding will throw this a bit out of balance. For example, if you overwind the bridge, I recommend overwinding the Neck as well to keep things in balance. I absolutely recommend checking your pickup height at the bridge and determine if you need a shim. Read more

    Hey Tom, this pickup can be rotated in the guitar. Just make sure the "D" pole is the highest pole. On Left-Handed guitars, the pickups' lead should come out of the treble side (under the high E string). - Tyler
    4. What's your opinion on 250k pots vs. 500k pots for p90's? I'm having a harness made, and they say 500k pots are the ones to use.

    Hey Steve, this is a good question. I'm not sure how your guitar is routed , or what's underneath the pickups. Traditionally, soapbars are mounted directly into a piece of wood under the pickup, screwed into the body. We also have a "Pickguard Mount" for the Soapbar. Lastly, if Humbuckers will work for this guitar, we have this model in a Humbucker housing... Read more

    Hey Greg, it is quite confusing. We make our pickups the same way - with the lead coming out of the Treble side. On Les Pauls and the like, sometimes the pickup needs to be turned around and the lead comes out of the bass side. It's fine either way, just check the pole piece stagger - we pre-set the stagger, and if the pickup needs to be turned around, you might need to adjust it a bit.

    Hey Christophe, you can certainly use our 5% underwind to achive a lower-output, cleaner tone on our Hum Cancelling P90s. As far as magnets go, we have Neodymium, which we feel gives the most traditional P90 tone. We also offer Alnico 6, which gives a much softer and jazzier tone.

  1. Philippe Durel

    I’ve installed a set of Lindy Fralin Hum Cancelling P90 on my Gibson Les Paul P90.
    The Bridge PU is fantastic, but I find the Neck PU very very dark.
    The Neck PU would be a great Jazz PU, all mellow and soft, but as is, it doesn’t bring the nice round tone punchy tone of the standard Gibson “P90 SR 860-13005-L” pickup that was originally on the guitar.
    I consider buying another Bridge PU in 50mm pole spacing to install as a Neck PU to compensate that problem, and anyways, I always have a tone pot and a volume put to “tame” and adjust a Neck PU if it’s a bit too bright and loud, but there is no way to do anything when the PU is just too dark.
    Unfortunately there is no distributor in Europe for single Hum Cancelling P-90 pickups, and with the shipment and the import taxes, that will bump up the price to nearly 250$ which make my pickup set a crazy expensive upgrade for my Les Paul P90.
    I think that this set should be redesigned for a more homogenous balanced in tone and output, anyways it’s the pickup placement (neck or bridge) which will determine the biggest part of the tone.

  2. Aaron

    I put these in my Gretsch 5627T. Tons of reviews. Didn’t see any Gretsch replacements reviews so… My stock Gretsch P90s sounded really good. I almost didn’t wanna replace them. I’m Ssssoooo glad I did. Soooo amazing!!!!! Unreal amazing!!! Do it!!!!!! I play classic rock, punk, alternative, jazz….
    ( I ordered these through my local music store when they mentioned they were a Fralin dealer ).

    Hum-Cancelling P90
    What a nice surprise. I play a lot of jazz and usually use guitars with humbuckers. But, when an F-hole guitar was gifted to me with one P-90, my first thought was to replace it with a humbucker. But, It was recommended to me by the guy who does all the work on my guitars to put a hum-canceling P-90 on it. This would be consistent the style of the guitar. I did some research and found this hum-canceling P-90 made by Fralin and the reviews all looked good. I took a chance and I am totally delighted. It has a very sweet sound, perfect for jazz, yet I can get down and dirty with it when I need to without any extra effects. The best way I can describe it is that it is like a hybrid between a P-90 and a humbucker. If you play jazz you should try this pick up!

    In one word, amazing. Full and sweet never barky. Would highly recommend them

    Verified Buyer

    Awesome pick-ups. I just replaced my Les Paul pick-ups with the hum-cancelling P90’s & it’s like night & day compared to the old ones. Lindy’s pick-ups are so quiet & the tone to my ears is exquisite. I also noticed more character in the 3 different pick-up combinations. Lindy also helped me out on the phone a few times when I wasn’t clear on something. Great product & excellent service.
