Sound
Get excited – Fralin P90s covers an impressive, broad tonal spectrum.
Featuring a clear neck and an overwound bridge, our P90s have that undeniable thick Single-Coil tone with a distinct wound string, and percussive treble string. The midrange is full, thick, and warm – perfect for adding depth to your guitar.
Are you looking for the traditional Fender-type sparkle? You won’t find that here. The Fralin P90 is all Gibson! For that, we recommend checking out our Hum Cancelling Alnico Rod model. We also have a Hum Cancelling version of this pickup available.
Whether playing clean or dirty, we guarantee the “3-dimensional depth” that the Fralin P90 provides will inspire you for years to come. Single notes are punchy and clear without sounding tinny, and chords break up with a tight compression that’s guaranteed to push your amp.
And with a hand-wound scatter-wound coil, your pickup is as unique as you are – each coil features a subtly unique voice that will undoubtedly inspire you. Experience what you’ve been missing and give your guitar the P90 voice it was meant to have with the Fralin P90.

Amazing pickups. More dirt than PAFs, but clean up beautifully with the volume knob. The neck pickup sounds very much like a strat neck pickup with drive/fuzz on and volume rolled back.
Just installed my 5% underwound P90s into my Yamaha Revstar RSS02T. Wow. I was a bit concerned that I might be underwhelmed, but I needn’t have worried. I’m a clean / edge of breakup kinda guy and these pickups are absolutely phenomenal in that space – sweet, articulate and well separated. Wind things up a bit and they also crunch nicely. My biggest problem now is that I’m GASsing for a set of Fralin’s for my Strat… ?
