The Fralin Wide Range Humbucker is a cleaner and more articulate version of the original, with all the clarity and definition you’ve come to expect with Fralin Pickups. Made with USA-Made parts and wound by hand, this will give you an amazing, sweet era-authentic tone!

Our Wide Range Humbucker is a modern take on the original classic. Originally built and designed by Seth Lover for Fender, this was the answer to Gibson’s darker-sounding humbuckers. Today, Lindy Fralin took his idea a little further, by making this pickup sweet, articulate, and clear and clean. Our Wide Range humbuckers will drop right in to your guitar, as they are the same fit and finish as the factory ones. This pickup will sound reminiscent of our P-92’s – Bold, but clear and articulate.

Features:

• Loud, bright, articulate clean tones and smooth, slightly crunchy distortion tones.
• Same size as the original Wide Range Humbuckers
• Threaded Alnico 5 Pole Pieces and for top-end sparkle
• Traditional humbucker design and looks
• USA-Made Parts, and Wound to spec, one at a time.

Note:

The Wide Range Humbucker is significantly larger than a Standard Humbucker. It will not fit in most guitars unless you have a Wide Range humbucker rout in your instrument.

The Fralin Wide Range Humbucker is Clean, articulate, and bright. If you have a darker or dull-sounding guitar, these will breathe new life into it. Lows are big, bouncy and clear like most Fender humbucker designs. The Mids are slightly scooped with an emphasis on the high mids. This pickup is sure to cut through the mix, without sounding brittle, shrill or thin. Playing dirty, this pickup won’t break up as early as traditional humbuckers. It will still sound thick in the low mids and smooth on the top-end. As with all our pickups, we take care to make sure we wind it to your specifications. Want it to sound a little fatter and darker? No problem – we’ll wind it to spec, free of charge.

Lindy Says...

We set our pole pieces to my specifications at our shop. You can adjust the pole pieces from the top and bottom. If you back the pole pieces away, the pickup gets a little clearer-sounding. Be careful though - don't let the pole pieces touch the cover - you can damage the cover and pickup."
