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.

Hey Charles, no you don't - Gibson Braided lead will work just fine!
Hello- Have a hum cancelling P-90 on the way for use in a Les Paul Junior. I was wondering if the performance of the pickup would be adversely affected if I put a 50’s spec wiring harness in the guitar. (One 500K pot, one 250K pot). Thanks for any response.

Hey Craig, to select a metal cover, you need Soapbar selected as well as "Standard 50mm" in the string spacing. Metal covers are not available in F-Spacing.

Hey Roger, I'm really sorry about the delayed response to this question. We recommend our Stock Outut Hum Cancelling P90. If you wanted it even cleaner, our -5% will provide you with a bit more clarity in the midrange.

Featured Reviews
Reviews we worked hard for, and are proud of.
Very happy with these.
An LPSpecial is now quieter (pretty much silent/no hum or noise) than a pair of LP with humbuckers.
LPSpecial with stock P90’s was nearly un-useable at any volume or standing position.
The tone is wonderful as well and the advice/recommendations from Fralin were above and beyond.
Nice work!
These aren’t P90s. They are pokey and percussive humbuckers. And, that’s…. OK! Get them underwound, and you have an extremely versatile set of pickups.
