Description
Fishman built the Fluence Open Core Modern set for players who get bored with having only one voice per pickup. Instead of a single fixed tone, each pickup gives you access to three distinct, musically useful voicings via a push-pull or toggle switch — no batteries required for basic operation, but active internals mean zero hum, zero mud, and consistent output no matter how hot your signal gets.
The trick is in the Multi-Voice design: rather than relying on winding tricks or passive tone-shaping to fake different sounds, Fluence pickups use active circuitry to generate genuinely different sonic characters from the same coil structure. That means real humbucker weight and grind on one setting, and articulate, chime-y single-coil character on another — not a compromise, but two (or three) actual pickups living in one housing.
Because the neck and bridge units are voiced independently, you can go further than just matching voices — pair the alnico-flavored neck pickup with the ceramic-flavored bridge pickup and you effectively double your tonal palette. Chunky low-end warmth up front, cutting high-output aggression in back, all switchable on the fly mid-song.
This is the Open Core Modern configuration in black nickel blades with a black finish — a clean, low-profile look that fits most modern humbucker routes without visual fuss. If you’re the type who rewires and re-pickups your own guitars and wants maximum tonal flexibility from a single pickup swap, this set earns its place in the control cavity.
