Un-wind with Fluence  by Fishman ®

The technology and art of performance per formance infused into electric guitar pickups. The electric guitar pickup has been wound since 1934. 80 years later, we’ve unwound it. Original and totally re-imagined, Fishman Fluence pickups are free from the hum, The noise and frustrang inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound pickups — revealing pure, uncorrupted and musical tone.  

RULE 1 The tones of the g reat classic and aermarket pickups are the benchmarks by which all other pickups are judged. These tones and mbres are not negoable; th ey are the The tones sound of electric guitars. Period.

RULE 2 With Rule 1 rmly established, we listed the design shortcomings of classic pickups and set about to x them: With •  Fluence pickups are true Mul-Voice. Coil taps and other switching can yield dierent sounds, but they can’t transform your pickups from vintage to hot, or from hot to “line-in” clean... with no losses in output level. •  Fluence pickups are quiet. Tradional single coils hum, and all standard pickups are suscepble to spurious noise — even humbuckers! No sacrice of classic tone for quiet operaon. •  Fluence pickups allow you to own the stage. Long cables? No problem. 20’, 30’, 50’ or more, with no signal degradaon. •  Fluence pickups let you control your volume, without sacricing high end or clarity. •  Fluence pickups will run for days on a standard 9-Volt baery or with the oponal rechargeable lithium-ion baery pack.
