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.
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.

Here's how we wind and magnetize our pickups:
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.
Tools
Dogear Shim Height Calculator
Calculate what shims you need!
- Select your cover height. Most cover heights are either 1/4" (Short Dogear) or 7/16" (Standard Dogear).
- Depress the Low E string at the highest fret
- With the Low E depressed, measure from the bottom of your pickup to the bottom of the string
- Input that measurement into the "String Height" box, and calculate!
Note: Shims are stackable and sandable. It's good practice to get more shim than you need, then sand it down to meet your measurement.

"Fralin has absolutely breathed new life into every guitar I own. These are some of the most dynamic and reliable pickups I have played and will continue to be a part of my sound for years to come."
Solo Artist
"Lindy Fralin nailed everything I love about vintage Strat pickups a long time ago and that’s why I’ve kept them in some of my favorite guitars all these years. Truly inspirational in the studio, on the road and stirring up the neighbors at home."
Broadway/Session GuitaristSir Richard NewtonMAN
“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]
-
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!
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
