No other hand-made pickup manufacturer has impressed us as much as Lindy Fralin. Every pickup that comes out of his shop seems to be made with a lot of love and just drips with tone. Single coils, humbuckers, or bass pickups, it doesn't matter - Lindy delivers the goods with each and every one. He's really made a name with his P-90s, SP43s, Unbuckers, Blues Specials and others. Lindy's expertise comes from years of real-world, on-the-job training. He has seen, researched, and repaired hundreds of the world's most coveted vintage pickups for many professional players and avid tone freaks, and this knowledge has been translated into his own creations. We try to stock plenty of these pickups, plus Lindy is well-known for his custom and repair work, so don't be afraid to ask for something special.

This Fralin Blues Special Tele Neck Pickup is one of our go-to pickups and one of the reasons we love Fralin. Compared to the stock set, Lindy winds these 5% hotter with a polynylon wire instead of a plain enamel wire. This means a thicker, fuller tone that has more output and midrange than a stock Tele neck. These pickups also have less of an edge to them, making them a little easier on the ears if the stock Tele twang isn't your thing. No cover.

Fralin Blues Special Tele Bridge

This Fralin Twangmaster 9200 Pickup is a split single coil with a nickel humbucker cover, and is an amazing bridge pickup. The non-adjustable Alnico V rod pole pieces add even more clarity than the P92s, and because of the split design they are completely silent of 60-cycle hum. Lindy uses this exact pickup in the bridge position of one of his own guitars.

This Fralin Pure PAF Humbucker 9k Pickup - Nickel is one of Lindy's newest humbuckers, and man is it killer, particularly in the bridge position. Lindy uses hand weakened magnets to really nail the sound of vintage PAFs. Very clean and articulate, these are some of the best vintage sounding pups in the house! Due to many requests we ordered this particular pickup just a hair hotter (at 9k) than the normal 8k.
