Full Description

Ferocious Fishman Fluence pickups

Multiple voicings, crisp articulation and precision engineering are all found in these outstanding pickups. These humbuckers were born to push sonic boundaries, and that's what the TE-1000 does. It roars with an expansive voice thanks to a Fishman ceramic in the bridge and the Fishman alnico at the neck. Unleash raw brutal sounds through the bridge humbucker, it uses ceramic magnets to provide a flamethrower tone that turns up the heat. Switch it to Voice 2 for a passive ceramic sound, and a slightly altered attack.

The Fishman alnico mounted at the neck position adds even more dynamics to the impressive TE-1000. Constructed with alnico V magnets it evokes a rounded, fat cadence. It's boosted and articulate and gives you a wider frequency to augment the piercing bridge pickup. Activate Voice 2 on the neck for a thinner humbucker tone. It approaches a single-coil sound yet is still crisp and defined, adding further to the astounding possibilities with this high end ESP.
