The Classic-T pickups are the result of John Suhr's extensive research into what made the pickups of Tele-style instruments so special, and so renowned for their unmistakable sonic quality as heard on pop and rock records for the past half-century. The Classic-T Bridge pickup retains the twang and the bite of the best vintage Tele-style pickups while doing away with piercing or harsh highs that are common in pickups of this type. The Classic-T Neck pickup adds clarity and warmth to round out the perfect set of pickups for Telecaster style guitars.
Neck pickup includes gold cover; gold mounting screws provided for bridge pickup. more information »

New! Strat pickups designed with Mike Landau and Kirk Fletcher.
Per Ed Yoon at Suhr: "What does FL stand for? Friggin' Loud! Actually, it stands for Fletcher-Landau as they've put a LOT of time into the development of these pickups and they're very happy with the results."
"FYI, the new FL single-coil pickups are a completely new design that we've been tweaking intensively with Mike and Kirk. These are now the hottest single-coil pickups we make but retain the clarity and the sparkle of the lower-output V54 and V60 pickups. As Mike likes to say, these are juicy and spicy but still clear and transparent. We didn't want to call them V60HP (high-peak) as John feels that this design is a complete departure from the V60s and V60LPs."
So there you have it. Consummate players, and tone hounds, have tweaked these pickups. Fletcher is a formidable talent, and Landau, of course, is The Second Coming of Hendrix, and praise doesn't get any higher than that. more information »

Fralin's hottest conventional single coil for Teles, this pickup adds even more mids, to help attenuate that bridge-pickup bite that Teles are famous for. 10% overwound (stocked) or 15% overwound (special order).
About Magnet Staggers
We carry Fralin's Tele bridges with a stock stagger or hybrid stagger. The stock stagger is conventional, the magnet heights are staggered per Fender's '50s specs. The hybrid stagger is flat with a raised D. Fralin feels this is the more appropriate choice for many modern guitars that have a flatter radius than the original 7.25" radius used on vintage Fender guitars and vintage reissues. Additionally, the original stagger was optimized for guitars with a wound G string. Because plain G strings are the norm today, some players (Fralin included) feel that the stock stagger doesn't provide as good a string-to-string balance as the hybrid stagger. A third stagger (Broadcaster - all poles flat) is available. We don't stock these because they're so similar to the hybrid stagger, but will happily special order them for you. If you want this option, please order the pickup with a stock stagger, and include a comment that you want us to substitute the Broadcaster stagger (lead time will be approximately 4 weeks). more information »

More power, longer sustain, and faster grind than Fralin's normal humbuckers. Wound with smaller 43 gauge wire (42 gauge is normal) from 12.5K to 13.5K with Alnico 4 magnets. The smaller wire allows more turns to fit on the bobbin, increasing the output another 5-10% over stock. Don't be confused by the numbers, a jump from 8K to 12K doesn’t indicate a 50% increase in output - the smaller wire of the 12K pickup has a higher resistance per foot, so the numbers get skewed. These are a notch up from Fralin's normal PAFs, they will push the amp harder, but they're not super-overwound like some of the offerings from Duncan and DiMarzio.
Vintage Guitar Magazine compared Lindy's humbuckers to Tom Holmes humbuckers and Gibson PAFs (both old and new - '63 humbuckers; '78 reissue PAFs; and '57 Classic and Classic Plus PAFs), and had this to say:
"All of these pickups are pretty cool, and each has it's own personality. The old Gibsons were great for reference, but believe it or not the panel preferred most of the new pickups to the old ones. This may sound unbelievable, but the opinions of the panel were very consistent and differences in the pickups were very substantial. This is what we heard..."
"Grand Prize: Lindy Fralin PAF in a unanimous decision. This pickup had the most output, most character, and most pleasant compression. It has smooth response and great overdriven tones. Biggest and smoothest, hands down. This was the obvious favorite. Double fat!"
As with all pickups, more turns of wire gives more power, thicker mids, and less highs. When ordering a set, we recommend a stronger bridge pickup (for instance, 12.5K neck / 13.5K bridge).
All models are designed to be hum-canceling when the tapped humbucker is combined with a Strat RWRP middle (Single-Single-Hum or Hum-Single-Hum). We order all our Fralin humbuckers with 4-conductor leads so they can be tapped.
Available in black, zebra, or with nickel or gold covers. more information »

From Van Zandt's website:
You'll stomp your feet from border to border with sounds from the True Vintage Model. These were designed to capture the sound of vintage Strats so expect to hear clear, chimey tones with great articulation and string-to-string definition. If you are looking for that classic Strat stringiness and "quack" from the "in-between" positions (2 and 4), these are your pickups. Especially good for country, Americana and roots rock, classic blues and rock-a-billy.
Includes an RWRP middle for hum-canceling in 2 and 4. Mounting hardware included. Covers not included but are available on our website if needed. more information »
