All P90, No Hum.

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

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 & Video

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.

Note
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.

This is a Hum Cancelling Pickup.

If you're buying a set from us, all pickups will work together seamlessly. If you're buying a single pickup, all you need to worry about is Coil Direction.

To ensure your pickup will work, make sure you select multiple leads (2-Conductor, 3-Conductor, or 4-Conductor if available), or the 3-Wire modification so you can reverse the coil direction, if need be.

Gibson Braided Lead
Only select Gibson Braided Lead if you install these pickups as a set into a Gibson-style instrument. Examples of a Gibson-style instrument are the Gibson Les Paul, 335, or Telecaster Deluxe. These guitars have two Volume Pots and two Tone Pots.

Note:

Gibson Braided lead is not intended for Telecasters with a Control Plate. If the braiding touches anything, it will short it out.

2 Conductor Lead Fralin Pickups
Choose a 2-Conductor Lead if you are buying a single pickup. Use this lead to connect the pickup to a Blade Switch, like in a Fender-style instrument. 2-Conductor allows you to reverse the phase of the pickup.

“Whether I’m playing on Broadway, with my original band, in a cabaret, or a film score orchestra, my Fralin pickups always keep up with whatever gets thrown my way. Surviving in the scene presents so many demanding challenges and Lindy’s designs check all the boxes for me. Whether it be the split blades in my Strats and Teles or the 5% underwind hum cancelling p90’s in my Novo, they deliver the mail every single time. As they say… make a joyful noise. A hum-cancelling, but joyful noise.”

    I been loving this pickups for years, got them in all my P-90 guitars. Still got that med high chime thing P-90’s have. Just no noise. [email protected]

  2. Simon

    Verified Purchase

    Replaced the original pickup on my 2019 PRS SE One. Lindy’s Hum-Cancelling P90 fitted perfectly without any modification to the guitar and sounds great. Not zero noise, but much less than the original pickup!

  3. Zach Avery

    I have played countless P90s over the years, and I cannot express how happy I am with the Hum Cancelling P90s! I bought the stock output for my Les Paul, and to my ear have the perfect balance of vintage P90 tone and modern clarity. I compared them side by side with the non-hum cancelling version, and they sound identical (minus the hum). 10/10!

  4. Dan

    Verified Purchase

    I put these in my Epiphone Casino and it instantly became my number one guitar. Outshining guitars costing 5 times as much money. Holy cow!

  5. Eric Brown

    Verified Purchase

    I swapped the stock bridge P90 in my Yamaha Revstar with a Fralin Noisless P90. I had some questions before ordering to make sure I ordered a pickup with the correct specs, and I got a fast and informative response. The pickup was delivered on time and I just got it put in last week. It sounds great, just like a P90 should, and has literally no hum or noise at all. Very happy with my purchase and would absolutely recommend one to anyone looking for a noiseless P90.

  6. Mo Kamal

    Verified Purchase

    These pickups transformed my guitar into the most expressive instrument I own. They are absolutely phenomenal. The best possible tone you could imagine- sweet clarity and growl on command. I’m inspired to play every time I pick up this guitar now!

  7. Mishael Levron

    Verified Purchase

    I have repalced a stock pixkup oon my Ymaha Revstar with tihs Fralin Hum cancelling P90. and the result is astounding. the sound of my guitar is so sweet and full, strong and mellow. articulated with overtones and mids exactly as i wanted. I play clean Jazz, no effects, only a good amp reverb.
    i can surely reccomend this PU to anyone who wants a clean, no hum P90 sound.
