Product Review Had to do some modifying to get them to fit my direct mounted ibanez but over all impressed. The voicing feature is a lot more subtle then I expected especially if your using distortion but it still a nice feature. Comes with everything you need besides the switch in your guitar. Instructions are straight forward. 5 star easily.

Product Review Definitely my go to for pickups now. The sound is a lot clearer than any I've tried. Sounds good playing metal and doing anything clean. Only downside is the wiring diagrams. They didn't have one that I could easily translate to the guitar I put these in. I had to use 2 different diagrams to get it right.

Product Review I’ve been an active pickup guy for over 20 years. Tried these on a whim and was very impressed. I wasn’t looking for a new pickup but these are great. Kinda like an emg 81 only smoother.

Product Review Didn’t think I would enjoy them as much as everyone hyped them to be. I was incredibly wrong, they are just as good as all who claim them to be. Plus the gold looks sick on the flamed maple top. But, beyond just the look the functionality is by far the best I’ve had experience with in an active product. Would definitely recommend, for sure.

Product Review These pickups do it all. The single coil split is amazing to get those old school tones, and the humbucker will scream for insane metal tones.

Product Review The brushed stainless steel finish were the ones I purchased and in my opinion, they are the best looking active humbuckers that Fishman makes, outside of the Stephen Carpenter signature model. I got these to install in a new electric guitar that I am building and have nothing negative to report.

Product Review I bought these to replace the stock pups in my Ibanez S-420. I was worried about having room for everything required since the body is very thin and I didn’t want to hit my axe with a router. Wiring was a bit tricky since original wiring diagrams were hard to come by and I was adding the DiMarzio push/pull knob as my volume pot instead of the tone knob again due to the shallow electronics cavity. It all worked out great and while the strat back plate battery pack didn’t really fit the back plate of the S-420 to serve as a replacement, some heavy duty Velcro secures it very well, the wiring was easy to pass through to hook it up and if I find that the. Artery life falls short of the advertised 2 weeks I can just buy a backup and swap them out in 30 seconds flat. New voices, incredible tone, and absolutely silent when not played. I’m flabbergasted since the thing has been a buzzing mess since I bought it. It comes with all the wiring and basic pots and no solder connections on the pickups themselves. You will be doing a good bit of soldering everywhere else though so if you’re not comfortable with that you may want to find a tech you trust.

Best Active pickups you can buy

Product Review The thing I always hated about active pickups, is they all had this top end sterile sound. When Fishman fluence first came out, I passed as I tried all the others. But I finally did, and wished I had sooner. These have the passive feel and touch sensitivity of passive with the power of actives and a really passive organic sound. They are dead quiet and have great options, Duel sounds, single coil tapping and hi frequency tilt selection. Most versatile and best sounding actives bar none. The Modens are all you could want.

Product Review As a proud EMG pickup player for many years and swore upon their tone...my upcoming guitars will no longer have them included because, of the outwordly level of craftsmanship and tone that is, Fishman Modern Fluences. Amazing tone and ultra clarity of individual notes make them the perfect pickup for shredders and for those who want a perfect mix in the studio.

Product Review I did a lot of research before buying, and the fishman fluence just kept getting my attention from the clarity to the different voicings available out of one set of pickups. And after recieving them and installing them it is clear I made the right choice. I have them set with two volume one tone configuration in an Ltd ec1000 and wow the difference. I started out with Duncan’s a jb and a 59 then went to the emgs 81/60 set then to the het set and none of them even came close to the quality and tone distinctiveness of the fishmans, I now know what all my other guitars will have in them fishman fluence all the way WOW!

Product Review I have always been an emg player until trying out the fishmans. These pickups can do anything from cleans and rock to modern heavy metal. I will never play another pickup and recommend them to anyone

Product Review These are now my go to for pickups, I was a long time EMG 81/85 user but this has changed the game for me. The voicing feature is what really sets it apart from the competition. If your on the fence about this... Your gonna be kicking yourself asking "why didn't I do this sooner"
