Great review, enjoyed it. nice playing.
Thanks very much!
Sounds fantastic! Great playing man!
Thanks a lot, Darvin!
So good! Maybe I will try this one.
Great pickups, man!
Hi Cesar - fantastic video and fantastic video. I've been researching Telecaster pickups and I think I am sold on these Lindy Fralins. Thanks!
Sorry, I meant fantastic video and fantastic playing.
Much appreciated, Matt! Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad it helped!
Matt, did you ever get the Fralin pups?
@@edmondlau511 Yes sir, I did. The Blues Specials. Amazing!!
I have the 5% overwound set and they are awesome!
Class! I need to try more of them
Been looking at these recently, this video has really helped! I love sound of uncovered neck pups.
Cheers Chris! Thanks for the feedback
@@CesarBenzoni no problem. Great playing too dude!
Dropped a set into a cheapo Squier CV50 a few months ago and it's simply an AMAZING sounding guitar now. I did add brass saddles and disconnected the neck pup from the tone pot (which helps with clarity and output!!). I wanted to compare it with a USA Tele Pro II...so I bought one. Both are great...but the Squier just shines with them Fralins...clear, balanced, stringy, dynamic, responsive, and full. I bought another CV50 to drop a set of Lollar Special T's to compare....coming tomorrow. Can't wait.
That's class! It's great to be able to do A/B comparisons
@@CesarBenzoni Indeed. The Lollars are also fantastic...a bit more full than the Fralins which seem also a bit chimier (perhaps due to thinner tone vs Lollar). Now I have two wonderful budget Teles that forced me to learn to solder and wire my own pups. I'm 62, dogs do learn new tricks!
Haaa good man! I never tried a Lollar, I hope to do so

Valeu Lukaz!!
So they have these and the ones that are 5 percent hotter ?? They sound fantastic whichever you're using here. Looking for a new pair to swap with some cheapos in a partscaster. Cheers
Actually I'm didn't know about the 5% hotter ones, I'll take a look! Thanks!
@@CesarBenzoni Awesome. Noticed you don't have a cover on the neck, any particular reason? Thanks man.
@@CBGypsy03 hey! No, it's just the way the pickup is actually. It doesn't have the lipstic cover
Can these pickups do a good jazz tone?
Yes, Charlie. They could sound jazzy in the neck pickup with good balance in the tone knob. Obviously, it would not sound like an archtop, but they will sound pretty good ;-)
Im not familiar with fralin.... how much hum with the pickups
For a single-coil pickup, I find them really quiet. They are really good pickups
why does it sound thin? i thought they supposed to be thick
Hey! I don't find it thin actually. I find them snappy, but you can always pull the tone knob back a bit. All the best!
They're not thin sounding. They're stringy and capture the tone of the string really well. Listen to other demos from players who were seeking out a darker, fatter sound from these pickups. Everyone has their own taste, and these can sound prett thick (by Telecaster standards) if that's what you're after.
Great video! But next time let's see more of the guitar and not the room. Thx.
Thanks, man! I didn't have a second camera at the time for another angle, but this particular video is more about the sound of the pickup than the guitar itself anyway. Cheers!
