Description
Wound pickups have chased this sound for eight decades — Fishman just skipped the winding entirely. This set of three single-width Fluence pickups drops straight into your existing single-coil routes and gives every position two genuinely different personalities, not just a volume bump or a coil tap trick.
- Voice 1 — Vintage Single-Coil: clear, airy, and sweetly warm, peaking around 4kHz for that classic chime.
- Voice 2 — Hot Texas Single-Coil: a beefier, overwound-style push with a 3kHz peak — more muscle and output without sacrificing top-end sparkle or that unmistakable strat snap.
Because Fluence pickups use a fundamentally different core than traditional wire-wound designs, they sidestep the noise, hum, and inductance loss that even great vintage-style singles suffer from. Run a 50-foot cable across the stage and your tone arrives just as clean as it left the guitar. Roll back your volume knob and you keep your clarity and highs instead of watching them melt away.
Under the hood: Alnico IV rod magnets deliver a 260 Gauss pull at the string, with 52.2mm pole spacing to match standard single-coil layouts. Output impedance sits at 2k, current draw is a frugal 2.4mA, and a standard 9V battery (or the optional rechargeable lithium-ion pack) will keep these running for roughly 250 hours — no more mid-set battery panic.
Wire them set-and-forget for one voice, or add a switch and toggle between both — either way, you get vintage sweetness and hot-rodded punch from the same set of coils.
