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.

Can I get a HUM-CANCELLING P90 with 1" pole pieces? I'm working on a J160e style guitar and would like to use your HUM-CANCELLING P90 pickup. This is an acoustic guitar and the pole piece screws have to go through the top of the guitar (much thicker than a P90 cover).

Hello, previous customer here. I'm very happy with your "Hum-Cancelling P90 in Humbucker Cover -Set - stock" (the description on the invoice) that I put in a maple capped Les Paul. I also have an AXL Bulldog LP Jr clone with a Fralin dogear P90 that I love. But in some of the bars we play at, I wouldn't mind a noiseless P90 instead. Do you know which one would be closest to the one they shipped in the AXL Bulldog? I guess my choices would be stoc...

This is my 3rd set of Fralin noiseless P90s I have purchased and, as usual, they are excellent. I currently have one in my Gibson Les Paul Jr. and 2 in my Collings 290 DC. What I love about them is they have that classic P90 sound but no hum which makes gigging with them so much more reliable. It gives me peace of mind and great tone.
I used to play my Tele with stock P90’s in the second position 90% of the time to avoid the single coil hum. The Fralin Hum-Cancelling P90’s were an easy upgrade, and sound amazing. Now I play 90% neck or bridge position and can make use of the separate tone and volume pots I always had. My guitar sounds better, and I can finally make use of the full range of controls and tones.
I bought these to replace some extremely noisy P90’s in a guitar that I bought from a “boutique” shop. The guitar is pretty nice, but the pickups were horrible. After trying to work with what I had, my local tech suggested Fralin pickups. With the addition of these pickups, this guitar is now what I hoped it would be. Fralin P90’s are the only way to go.
Magic!
Excellent all around! Great tone, great build quality and customer service. This was a neck hum-cancelling p90 for a telecaster. It replaced a Fralin minihumbucker and was just what I wanted (a little more mids, less “clarity” and chime). Matches great with a steel pole tele in the bridge. I got it with a -5% wind at Fralin’s recommendation. Looking forward to trying the bridge p90 in another guitar at some point.
I took a budget Asian Epiphone Casino and went a bit mod crazy! (I love mods!) Bigsby, roller bridge, locking tuners, Plek’ed neck, proper wiring harness, setup, and to top it off, Fralin Hum-Cancelling P90s. I liked the sound of the stock pickups, but these Lindy’s clearly stand out and above the stock ones (wish I’d recorded the difference).
Through my 71 Fender DLR these pickups come alive, articulate highs and mids! As primarily a vocalist, my picking skills are limited, but my ears, my ears hear a tone that compliments my voice and sits in the mix with the band. As a long-term sufferer of noodling syndrome, I’m pleasantly excited with how these sound, and how they inspired me to play more and actually practice!
Anything that inspires you play more is worth the money.
Thanks Lindy.
Great sound! Easy drop in replacement for any LP Jr style guitar!
Hand wired Hum-Cancelling P-90? Check! Vintage sound and brute power? Check and check!! WOW! Just put these in an Epiphone Casino, and what a difference. Thank you for a wonderful customer experience from a knowledgeable sales team. You have a product that you can be very proud to sell. Beyond my expectations, truly.
