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.

Rated 5 out of 5I just got the P90 soapbar no hum pickups, put them into an Epiphone 1956 Les Paul, with 50’s style wiring and CTS pots , and it is amazing! Like no other pickup I have played. The power of the neck pickup is so good, almost like a humbucker, but with more air in it, and so clear. The bridge is more vintage nasal tone, like early Freddie King. Blended together, the two can do almost any blues or rock, or jazz tone you would want. I have another Epiphone Casino with Dogear P90 Fralin pickups, that sounds great too, but this one is even clearer, and has no hiss or hum at all. I play this into a 1968 Marshall Plexi replica, and it is great. The other reviews are true, this has the p90 tone, but not the hum or noise at all. I wish I had done this swap sooner, it is like getting a new vintage guitar for chump change!

Rated 5 out of 5P90’s you need to get
Mr. Fralin was kind enough to make time for me. We spoke of the guitar type and wiring. After discussing the request. We came to an agreement on the overall construction. Hard to put into several sentences how dynamic and tonal flexible these P90’s are. I’ve owned many types of pickups. Noiseless, Vintage, Singles, Hums, Active… I have to say these are a whole other monster…and I mean a tone Monster. You can get almost any tone you are looking for out of a P90 type pickup when you learn to adjust the height and poll pieces for your guitar. Just amazing. Thank you Mr. Fralin

Rated 5 out of 5WOW! Just WOW. I have been a (hot) P90 adherent for the last 20 years and was a bit skeptical of any P90 that purports to be “hum-cancelling” that will still sound like a P90, but this thing does AND breathes fire! I got the 5% overwound, and couldn’t ask for anything more in a P90. This through my KTR , into my Marshall JMP 50 is heavenly. Thank y’all SO MUCH! I could not more highly recommend this pup. Cheers!

Rated 5 out of 5Amazing Tone – Clean and warm, can be used in most applications. I like playing it in the neck position with a little chorus pedal for flavor. Sounds amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5Mind Blown! Awesome Pickup for my 2019 LP Junior! I previously had it stock, then with a humbucker, and now this Fralin Hum-Cancelling P90 [I did the +5% version]. This one really goes when you turn it up, esp with an overdrive. Even better with a MK II tonebender Fuzz! But it still cleans up nicely when you roll off the volume–makes for a smooth, sweet, and creamy “Blue Sky” by ABB. It is the Classic P90 sound but uplifted. Indeed the 60-cycle hum is eliminated!! I will admit that I was a bit skeptical, but definitely the best thing I could do for my Junior. Worth every penny. Thank you Fralin Team! 6 stars!

Rated 5 out of 5The Best
I am determined to upgrade my 2020 Fender Mustang. I put Lindy Fralin hum canceling P-90’s in her. I put Graph tech saddles, nut, string tree and, Fender locking tuners on her. Her mane is hope and, everybody in the neighborhood loves how she sounds out of my Fender Hotrod Deville tube amp. I’m sharpening my axe. She’s almost there. “Thank you!” -

Rated 5 out of 5I’m in heaven!
Ordered a custom hun-canceling P-90 and couldn’t be more satisfied. I have a Jared James Epi Les Paul. It sounded great but was to noisy and I don’t have the ability or playing situation to play loud enough to get away from the hum.
The Fralin Hum-Cancelling P-90 did the job. True P-90 growl with no hum.
It’s an amazing pickup! -

Rated 5 out of 5P/U upgrade to 2019 Gibson LP Special
I found the stock Gibson p/u just ok so I spent some time researching for an upgrade. I choose Fralin and was able to customize to the sound and look I wanted. This upgrade was worth every penny and this guitar is now my number one. -

Rated 5 out of 5epi junior – Purchased my Epi Junior knowing I was going to change the pick up. I play more punk style and when I e-mailed customer service they said to go with 5% over wound. At first I thought it was too hot but then I realized it was the way to go because it gives me more options! I keep my volume up for solos, rolled off slightly for rhythm and rolled back it cleans up great. Completely satisfied with the hum-cancel dog ear p-90

I put these in my 1967 Gibson SG Special and they sound fantastic. They clean up, they growl when cranked, and everything in between. I was looking for a pup that bring out the guitar’s great resonance and thats just what these do! Tommy Mac -
