CLASSIC HUMBUCKER
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, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague
even the most coveted wire-wound pickups — revealing
pure, uncorrupted and musical tone.
Historically, pickup “recipes” have been fraught with
compromises, a balancing act of design concessions in
an effort to combine our favorite elements without giving
up too much. However, even after almost a century of
refinement, most of us can still think of something we’d like
to tweak on our current favorites.
Each Fishman Fluence pickup has two distinct and useful
sounds on-board. These sounds start with the revolutionary
Fluence Core, the heart of Fluence tone. From this Fluence
MODERN HUMBUCKER
Core we then create the classic timbres and tone-colors
you expect from great guitar pickups — as well as some
you’ve never expected.
Fishman Fluence. Everything You Hear Is TrueTM.

Multi-Voice Pickups for Electric Guitar
Multi-Voice Pickups For Electric Guitars
Fishman Fluence pickups are the first real re-imagining of electric
guitar pickups in over 80 years. Before we embarked on the Fluence
journey, our team established some important ground rules.
RULE 1
The tones of the great classic and aftermarket pickups are
the benchmarks by which all other pickups are judged.
These tones and timbres are not negotiable; they are the
sound of electric guitars. Period.
RULE 2
With Rule 1 firmly established, we listed the design
shortcomings of classic pickups and set about to fix them:
n
Fluence pickups are true Multi-Voice. Coil taps and
other switching can yield different 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.
n
Fluence pickups are quiet. Single coils hum, and all
standard pickups are susceptible to spurious noise -
even humbuckers! No sacrifice of classic tone for
quiet operation.
n
Fluence pickups allow you to own the stage.
At Fishman, we merge the Technology and Art of
Performance. So whether it’s our pickup systems
for acoustic guitars, Solo PA systems, Triple Play
MIDI guitar system, amplifiers and more… you can
depend on us to cut out the “voodoo” and get
to the true source of great tone.
Our Fluence lab is outfitted with sophisticated
equipment, some of which we built ourselves
specifically for our unique research needs. But the
real testing occurred in the “real world” lab that was
created when we handed the Fluence-equipped
guitars over to players like you. Back and forth, the
refinements continued until it was smiles all around…
and we eventually got our guitars back!
Fluence — The Technology and Art of
Performance infused into electric guitar
pickups. Because you’ve waited long enough.

magnetic fields
on our proprietary
analyzer.
Long cables? No problem. 20’, 30’, 50’ or more,
with no signal degradation.
n
Fluence pickups let you control your volume,
without sacrificing high end or clarity.
n
Fluence pickups will run for days on a standard
9v battery, or with the optional rechargeable
lithium-ion pack – never change batteries again.
Fishman Fluence pickups deliver the tone you love,
and leave the rest of the baggage behind.
One of the many
“shuttle” guitars
used to make instantaneous pickup
changes. Using the
same guitar for all
tests removed this
significant variable.
