A Reimagining of the Humbucker Pickup

The Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker bridge pickup delivers the most sought-after humbucking tones, from vintage sweetness to overwound punch. Unlike most wire-wound models, Fluence pickups manage to deliver the classic humbucker sound without noise or inductance issues. On top of that, Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups provide you with your choice of three distinctly different voices: a clear, vintage-sounding PAF humbucker; a muscular, hot-rodded humbucker; and the newest voicing addition of a beefy, slightly overwound single-coil — all from the same pickups. Give your Sales Engineer a call to learn more about these innovative pickups!

Active electronics deliver classic tone - without the noise

We all love the sound of vintage pickups. That being said, buzz and inductance issues leave a bit to be desired. With Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups, you can run hundreds of feet of guitar cable without any quality loss. Your volume control will operate with unprecedented smoothness, allowing you to milk useful sounds out of your guitar, even at low settings. To call these pickups "noiseless" would be a grand understatement!

Three distinct voices

The Fluence Classic Humbucker provides you with the choice of three unique, selectable voices. Its first voice is reminiscent of a vintage PAF pickup. Plug into your amp and treat yourself to that familiar sweet warmth, accented by clear and present articulation. The second voice invokes a hot-rodded humbucker, with its muscular, beefy, overwound tone. Newly incorporated is a third voice: single-coil. Much stronger than your standard "split” humbucker tone, the Fluence Classic Humbucker's single-coil voice produces authentic thickness and clarity without losing any of the highs or vintage tone. All three voices are accessible by any number of standard switches or push-pull controls, and they can be added as a completely reversible modification to most guitars.

Contains all you need for installation

Fishman Fluence is a revolutionary new way to look at the art of pickup building. To deliver their wide range of tones, noise-free performance, and low-impedance signal, these pickups require a power source and specially designed pots. All of this is included with every pickup. Inside the package, you'll find the pickups, wiring, and push-pull and standard 25k potentiometers that are ideal for the active circuitry, and more. Installing a set of Fishman Fluence pickups is a quick and easy way to achieve your electric guitar's full potential.

Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker Bridge Pickup Features:

  • Active electronics deliver classic, yet noiseless, tone
  • Multi-voice Fluence Core provides 3 selectable voices: vintage PAF, hot-rodded humbucker, and slightly overwound single-coil
  • 9V battery delivers 200+ hours of use
  • Rechargeable power supply also available
  • Direct replacement design requires no permanent guitar modification

Want to make your guitar sound its best? Take it from the lifelong performers at Sweetwater and check out Fishman. If you've bought an acoustic-electric guitar, there's a good chance it came with Fishman electronics, but it's easy enough to upgrade your favorite instrument too - just ask the pros in Sweetwater's Guitar Repair Shop. Do you perform? Are you a singer/songwriter? We'd love to turn you on to Fishman's Loudbox amps and amazing pedals. But Fishman isn't limited to acoustic electronics. Many of us have tricked out our electric guitars with Fishman Fluence pickups and TriplePlay wireless MIDI systems too.
