In this video, Lindy Fralin personally demonstrates the new Fralin Split Blade Tele Replacement Pickups. Although these are prototypes, the production model pickups will be identical to these in tone and should be available by early fall. The guitar featured is a custom Telecaster of swamp ash and maple. This demo was recorded using a V.V.T. Lindy Fralin model combo amp, rated at 38w and featuring 1-15" Eminence speaker. The mic used was a Shure SM-57, although the lavalier mic that Lindy is wearing is picking up some of the ambient sound from the room. Please let us know if you have any questions!

I've been using the Split Blade Blues in my 52' RI Tele for the past 8 months and they're hands down the past Tele pickups I've ever used. Great job Lindy.

These things sound as close to perfect as it gets

@jamesnelson1443 Год назад

Incredible & I love reversing the control plate

@rythman6969 11 лет назад

I think what you are hearing is just the sound of him switching hard and the pickups ringing out a bit. Sounds absolutely beautiful to me. I'm ordering a set next week.

@FralinPickups Thanks for the comment back i appreciate it, I love your model pickups and your vvt model amp. You guys are great. Cant wait to see what else you come up with in the future. Thanks.

@jensenbell 14 лет назад

Congrats Lindy! (Maybe I should congratulate all we fans of the split blade). I think this is one of the best things you've come up with. I swear by your Split Blade Strat, your Real 54's, your vintage Tele Bridge and your Noiseless P-90. I'm gonna build my next Tele and wait until you release these before putting pickups in. Very cool! I'm very excited!

@AllenPinchloaf 11 лет назад

These Split blades have the quintessential tele tone! Its the Evolution of tone and no noise.

@TheTangentUK 13 лет назад

@tanukibrahma I think it sounds exactly like a tele with better mids, also when he had the volume cranked it didn't get ice picky at high end

@AllenPinchloaf 7 лет назад

Best sounding noiseless pickups I've heard

@AllenPinchloaf 12 лет назад

Wow real tele tone from noiseless pickups!You really did it this time Lindy! Way better than blade styles I've heard.

@Fishies125 5 лет назад

Holy crap that sounds ungodly good.

@kingpinboogie 12 лет назад

I love these pickups! They "feel" like they really grab and hold the note, esp. when bending strings. Expensive, but worth every penny.

@tehsamjones 13 лет назад

Got my Split Blades installed in my 52 RI Tele. Sound amazing! Thanks Lindy

@pitob4769 4 года назад

Soon. Very soon I will (hopefully) have these spit coil pickups and Fralin tele aged upgraded pots, wires etc. in my tele SOON! I can not wait!

@TorySlusher 2 года назад

I tried one of these on a custom build tele in Portland, sounded great, awesome response. ...thinking of replacing my current bridge pu due to the noise factor BUT don't want to give up the twang, you know....

@HappyOrangeTheBand 13 лет назад

Damn, that is some of the best tone out there. Nice work.

@tehsamjones 13 лет назад

@FralinPickups Thanks! I think I'll pick some up and give 'em a try.

@ldelcors 5 лет назад

Nice Roy Buchanan reference with the pinky swells.

@FriggnDiggn 11 лет назад

Do you remember the bridge pup you made for Robben Fords' tele? Id like one of those.

@PaulShread 2 года назад

Think I just decided on some replacement Tele pickups - these sound fantastic, better than JBE

@patrickpalmer3374 3 года назад

They hold that country sound perfect

@christopherchristopher4482 5 лет назад

Drool. Made up my mind. Thanks!

@jlchopstick 12 лет назад

Hi, I saw this video last december and got curious. => I did put those split blades into my (finally finished!) first project telecaster, linked to a 4-way control using 50s wireing (i.e. the tone pot connected to the output of the vol pot). The sound is simply great and direct plus this setup delivers a broad range of different clean sounds, just by using the guitars knops&switches... I am impressed; those splitt blades make me a lucky man :-)

@CBGypsy03 Год назад

Are these the vintage output with 250k pots ?? Anyone ??

@patrickpalmer3374 3 года назад

I like those spoilt blades gives me an idea

@tehsamjones 13 лет назад

@FralinPickups Thanks Lindy! I think I'll pick up a set

@bretthuhn8666 7 лет назад

Those things sound very TELE! Good for you Lindy!

@peculiarsound 11 лет назад

Planning on pulling the Broadcaster bridge pickup out of my Larrivee Bakersfield. Which output would you suggest as a replacement? 12" radius, btw. 250K Liberator pot. Think the vid sounds great. The OD you used, what was it? Very natural sounding, with just a bit more umph.

@AllenPinchloaf 13 лет назад

Hi Lindy How is the output level say compared to Bardens? Sounds like better clarity on the low strings and slighly rounder or darker sound on the high strings.jeez they sound spectacular.What bridge is on that tele?Callaham?

@Samuelsonfranz 13 лет назад

WOW! This is killer! Is this neck the same as the replacement neck on your website? Body too? Also, what electronics do you recommend to use for these pickups? (types of pots and caps) Are you using Callaham parts? Thank you so much for your passion for making wonderfully musical products. All The Best, Sam

@jakestewartmusic 11 лет назад

I dig these. Which output option is comparable to the Fender N3 Noiseless pickups? I have these in my American Deluxe and I'd like to try some new pickups out without losing or adding too much power.

@jensenbell 14 лет назад

@FralinPickups - I work with the fine fellows at True Tone in Santa Monica, CA. I'll be bugging them to get a shipment as soon as possible. Or I just might have to call you in 5 weeks to order directly. I'll also be calling you w questions about your Tele neck. (like is it possible to custom order a lefty?) and a question about the way the fellow from "Rocketeer Studio" combined two split blades in series for a HB sound. Again, fantastic news for we tele players who get grief from engineers!

@amancalledlimey 13 лет назад

Hey Lindy ....thinking of doing a 3 pup Nashville project with split blades.....Neck and Bridge would be split blade tele blues specials ....middle pos would be middle strat split blade blues special ...would that work in your mind?? good combination or would you have a more effective idea??

@Wolf1616 8 лет назад

Sounds good! Was that a little Roy Buchanan inspired volume swell in there? lol

@TheTangentUK 12 лет назад

Hi Lindy, Just wanted to know how close these pickups sound to say vintage tele pickups, the kind you would get in a usa std tele ?, I know they sound close on here, but in person they will be more noticable, are they close ?, I want the vintage sound, but without the hum, I had a strat plus with the gold lace censors, they sounded great with no hum, but they just did not quite sound wright compaird to my std strat pickups

@tmertube 13 лет назад

Man those things sound good, I have Joe Bardens, and those are perking my ear.

@AllenPinchloaf 13 лет назад

Thanks Lindy ,Killer sounds! Is that a Callaham bridge??

@tehsamjones 13 лет назад

would I need to route my pickguard or get a new bridge for these to fit?

@cleoat1 11 лет назад

I was wondering which set of the split blade has the less birghtness on them?

@arricat5e311 9 лет назад

Could you make them with a four conductor wire?

@FernandoPaul 13 лет назад

Great tone! Is this the 'vintage' or 'blues' set?

@Chrisvaughnmusic 14 лет назад

When are these coming out exactly?

@Speedo53 11 лет назад

You don't mention in your demo or the text below whether these prototypes are closest to your current classic, blues, or high output versions. It might also be helpful to know what pots are in the guitar you used: 500k or 250k.

@AllenPinchloaf 8 лет назад

Great pickups.Whats your favorite wind of these Lindy?will they work with a combination radius 9 1/2 to 14 inch as you get higher up the neck.neck pickup seems to balance neck with the bridge

@lindyfralin3868 8 лет назад

+Pinch loaf I use the Vintage output in all of my guitars but one and that Strat has two Vintages and a High Output Bridge. I think the Vintage is plenty loud and I let the amp and pedals get the distortion. It is really the bridge saddles that determine which radius will work the best and for yours I think the flattest (FR).

@AllenPinchloaf 7 лет назад

Hi Lindy what brand is that body..what weight do you look for in a body? Is that the neck you sell?

@ZombeeStudio 12 лет назад

I bought these pick ups a few months ago. The bridge pickup is golden! I love it! But I had problems with the neck pickup. The G string volume would drop out when I bent the string and come back up when the string was "un-bent." I ended up removing the neck pickup. I just ran across this post and thought I'd ask if anyone knows if I can do anyting to help with my problem.

@williamleith8430 5 лет назад

Mb pickup height adjustment, raise it a little bit at a time.

@michaelmcwilliams4705 10 лет назад

Jacob, I also have an ash body AmDlx with the N3 pickups. The bridge is awesome but the neck pickup is just too thin and not enough output. I just ordered the Blues split blade, so I hope it's not too dark! Did you ever end up replacing yours in your Tele?

@bretthuhn8666 7 лет назад

Did you like the Blues split blade?

@MrAletube 11 лет назад

sweet

@jameshalbert181 2 года назад

Can I use them with a 4 way using 2 pups in series or parallel?

@CBGypsy03 Год назад

Yes you can order them with the third wire on the neck pickup and add that to the four way switch!!! 😉

@cleoat1 11 лет назад

I want a nice clean sound which could be overdriven, but not that bright withou the hum

@high-functioningretard311 10 лет назад

The Tele sounds very compressed in this video. Is it natural compression from the amp or pedal board? Or is that how the pickups sound?

@stephenward2777 8 лет назад

Welcome to RU-vid compression

@tanukibrahma 13 лет назад

These sound a little muted to me in comparison to regular tele single coils. I'm not sure it even sounds like a tele any more.

@ilovemywah 14 лет назад

hi....guys you have no email contact details on your website, where can i ask some questions about yer p90's? i asked at your virtualwoodshed demo's but got no answer!!!

@johnrichardson6927 6 лет назад

hello lindy, this is john from st. louis. any tele guitars that you might want to sell?

@bigtorquehemi 11 лет назад

I dont know....I heard what sounded like a lot of hum when overdriven...and u were quick to grab the volume when u were finished.

@JoeyPinter 11 лет назад

please!! no more pedals. or as i like to call them "help-me box's" i have your P90's in my les paul special right into.. well..anything and they scream, they sound like some kind of animal, fabulous indeed.

@cmmnsenserules4339 Год назад

WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE PICKUPS!!!! Great pickups, but they should cost $179. Not 400!!!!

@joshuabenton3785 Год назад

what are you talking about? they are $260 for a pair

@whistlindick 11 лет назад

"I dont know....I heard what sounded like a lot of hum when overdriven...and u were quick to grab the volume when u were finished." There was little to no hum there. I don't know what you thought you were hearing. Or maybe you are here shilling for a competitor?

@paullebon323 10 лет назад

Of course they are hotter, but that isn't the point. Hotter for hotter's sake only appeals to little metal-tards. They are silent hum-cancelling pickups that sound like high-end single coil Tele pups... but with more grunt on tap if you want it.

@WeThePeopleMaricopa Год назад

when I build my black or white guard for half of what it cost to get a polyurethane piece of s*** woke Fender...I'll take the extra money and buy superior Fralin pickups.
