Features
Are you seeking a more “polite” P90 tone with no hum? The P-92 is the pickup for you. Incredibly versatile, this pickup features bright wound strings with round treble strings. It’s perfect for Rock, Blues, Country, and Jazz.
Lindy’s unique Split-Single design allows you to achieve a genuine single-coil tone with zero hum, all packed in an awesome-looking humbucker. The USA-Made Alnico 5 bar magnet gives you a tight attack and bite, with a clear low-end and stiff treble.
The P-92 pickup sounds cleaner than our Hum-Canceling P90 but more aggressive than our Big Single 42.

Sound & Video
As we’re sure you’re aware, a known challenge with P90 pickups is the hum. Rest assured: we’ve solved that problem and found a unique, versatile sonic footprint where the P-92 fits perfectly.
The P-92 features a cleaner and more articulate overall tone. It’s more “polite” than our Hum Cancelling P90s, and much clearer-sounding than our Pure P.A.F. That said, the P-92 offers you a thick, warm midrange accompanied by a stiffer and rounder treble – perfect for many music styles.
The P-92 is quick to break up, but you’ll find that it’s still clearer, like traditional Vintage P90s. Built with alnico V magnets, we use 42-gauge or 43 gauge wire depending on the strength you need.
When playing clean, you’ll find that this pickup has a thicker, bold tone with a stiff high end. With distortion, you’ll find that the grind is dirtier than our Big Single, but not as much as a typical Humbucker.
It all starts here: our manufacturing process allows us to achieve unparalleled quality control. Our P-92’s consist of USA-Made bobbins, baseplates, magnets, and wire.
We wind each pickup by hand, one at a time using our proprietary “Sectioning” technique. This gives the pickup a sweet, bright tone. We assemble each pickup one at a time, by hand. This allows us to achieve unbeatable attention to detail. Finally, we wax-pot the pickup to prevent microphonics and to preserve the pickup for years to come.

Additional Technical Info:
1 Ohm Readings can vary due to a multitude of factors, including ambient temperature, multimeter calibration, different wire batches, and other factors. Due to this, ohm readings are approximate. Learn more about Ohm Readings here.
2 We recommend a 0.02mfd Cap Value on most guitar and bass pickups. The exception is a Magic Cap, which Lindy prefers on the Bridge Pickup of Fender® guitars only. Learn More about Caps Here.
* Due to the unique design of this pickup, ohm readings are not useful when comparing to other models. This pickup is medium output, and leans to a cleaner, clearer tone.
Polarity Information:
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.

Just writing to say thank you. I just got the guitars back from the shop with the new pickups.
The Unbuckers went into a 2008 PRS Mira, and the P-92s went into a 2005 PRS Custom 24. Nothing against the original configurations, but the sound of the guitars never quite caught up with how they felt to play; always a bit difficult not to sound muddy.
With the new Fralins, they finally breathe properly. Both sets of pickups sound flawless either clean, through breakup and beyond, always retaining clarity and definition. My compliments to the chef(s).
You have gained a fan, this is the first time I’ve had the chance to play/own your pickups, but it most certainly won’t be my last.

I’ve cycled through I don’t know how many different pickups for my Fender Am Pro II tele and nothing ever did it for me until I installed the Fralin Split Steel Poled Tele along with a Fralin P-92 in the neck.
There’s a clarity and “presence” to both these pickups and the combination of the two is magical. -
I replaced the stock Duncan Phat Cat pickups in my Eastman Romeo LA with a pair of Fralin humbucking P90s. I love the thick sound of the P90s, especially in the bridge position, but it was a little to much heat/dark for the neck position considering the jazzy sound I hoped to get from this hollow body guitar with a laminated spruce top. Putting a P92 in the neck position perfectly accomplished the sound I was hoping for, warm but still with enough treble to sound crisp and very responsive to touch. Interestingly, although individually the pickups sound very diverse, switching to both pickups didn’t really sound sufficiently different from the neck pickup alone. I changed to a dpdt on/on switch that chooses either pickup but not both. Then, when the bridge pickup is selected a blender pot can dial in a variable amount of the neck pickup, which accomplishes a very nice in-between sound. I highly recommend the P92 for clean, articulate, versatile sounds. I will also continue to use the humbucking P90s for a gutsier thick sound. I currently have eight different models of Fralin pickups installed in my various instruments, each with unique character and each with fantastic sound. Keep up the good work!

I installed a P-92 in the bridge position (replaced a pearly Gates humbucker) to complement my awesome Fralin vintage hot singles in the neck/middle positions. The P-92 has just enough hotter output, but balances well with the single coils. The P-92 is so responsive to my playing (location on the sting and my dynamics/attack), I can make the notes just sing. The midrange is so thick and beautiful, but has a very nice high end range my pearly gates just didn’t have. It is hard to put into words, but the P-92 is just so musical it gives me more control over the tone of each note.
