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.

    Verified Purchase

    This pickup has made my PRS SE One stage worthy at last! It’s dead quiet, and has authentic P-90 definition and bite. Easy to install, and easy to dial in perfect string balance. And it looks perfect! It is a touch darker than an original P-90. There’s a bit less of the single coil flavor, but that’s more than made up for by the absence of noise. Set your treble knob a little higher and you’re good to go. GREAT PICKUP!

  2. Claude Leek

    The Noiseless P 90 pickups sound very clear with a lot of definition, even with distorted sound, very good choice if you’re looking for the P 90 sound without the noise

  3. DAVID LEE

    Verified Purchase

    These are my “go to” p-90s probably my 6th or 7th set so far love the p-90 bite with a bit of fullness and articulation. Wont use any others!

  4. Allen Burton

    Verified Purchase

    Lindy Fralin pickups are nothing short of amazing. I am always impressed with the quality of his product and service! Nothing compares!

  5. Bob Damiano

    Verified Purchase

    I fully expected the hum cancelling to be very effective. But being the tech nerd I am, I wanted to do a very accurate before/after test of it. It’s pretty amazing – like > 24dB reduction in hum. So then the big question is – well does it really sound like a P90? And yes. Yes it does. I even put the result on my youtube channel: https://youtu.be/7z2dHgno7J4

    I got a set of these hum cancelling P90s for a semi-hollow parts build I’d been planning for ages. I did a ton of research and ultimately landed on these and wow am I glad I did. Truly the best sounding pickups I’ve ever had in a guitar I’ve owned. I went with stock wind in the neck and overwound in the bridge position and I’m really happy with that configuration. So much sweetness and clarity in the neck and bite in the bridge position. With gain cranked, the bridge pickup sounds heavy without being at all muddy. Oh and they are dead silent! Really over the moon and would definitely recommend these incredible pickups.

  7. Tom Rogers

    Verified Purchase

    Exactly what I wanted- the growl and bite of a vintage (albeit overwound) P90 without the hum. This was my 3rd Fralin noiseless P90. I have one each – stock, 5% under-wound, and 5% overwound, and they all sound great in their respective spots. Highly recommended, especiallyif you wanttobe able to use your P90 guitar everywhere.

  8. Tom Nicholson

    Verified Purchase

    I am very impressed with the sound of these pickups
    Using them in a Les Paul studio that originally came equipped with Gibson soapbars.
    Thanks for the installation tips as well, that was the first time that I have ever installed my own… worked like a charm

  9. Eric

    Verified Purchase

    Very happy overall with the tonality of these pick-ups and the overall customer experience. I wanted noiseless p90s for my Collings I-30 LC to replace the stock Lollar p90s, which are custom sized and were picking up major hum in my new apartment. I spoke to a prominent NYC luthier for advice, and he recommended I call Lindy. Lindy was very friendly and agreed to fit the new noiseless P90s to the existing pickup baseplates and dogear covers so that they could be a drop-in replacement without modifying the guitar. The new pickups were shipped ahead of schedule and fit the guitar perfectly once installed. Not only are these new pickups noiseless, but they also have a slightly rounder tone that I find works much better for the jazz/blues style that I play. I get fantastic tones out of all 3 pickup positions, whereas the old p90s were a bit too edgy for me and needed the tone rolled waaay back even on the neck pickup. My tone is now dialed in and I am a very happy camper!

    Was not surprised with how good these pickups sound. Dead quiet, … P90 sound, and outstanding build quality. Got Fralins in about six guitars now and have never been disappointed. Thanks to Lindy and all the staff for a great pickup and exceptional service!

    In truth, I haven’t used my P90 Hum Canceling pups yet. They are going to be installed in a custom guitar that is being built for me by North Coast Guitar Company here in Grand Rapids Michigan. I will say that the customer service is over the top! I can’t imagine the P90s wouldn’t perform at the same level. Thanks to all staff!

  12. Scott

    Verified Purchase

    Great tone clarity, and a little bite when needed and ZERO HUM!!! Best P90 on the market!!!
    Plays great through all american and british style amps.

  13. Steve Reynolds

    Verified Purchase

    Excellent pickup. Dead quiet and sounds almost exactly like a real P90. It’s a tad darker but that can be easily fixed with the amps tone controls if you want.

  14. Patrick Byington

    Verified Purchase

    So to be succinct, I love the hum cancelling p90 y’all made for me! Sorry I didn’t do the review from the link you sent me, I just finished assembling the parts caster your pickup now lives in. It’s a sound I wish I’d thought about trying YEARS ago. I could wax poetic for several minutes, but suffice it to say that this new guitar plus your pickup is probably the most satisfying instrument I’ve ever owned. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
