Split Blade For Mustang

yeah baby yeah

Put these in my 2019 Swinger and it is now a beast. The stock pups weren’t too bad but these are much better, high output spec, really nice clear voicing but take dirt very well. they look cool too.

Love these pickups

Replaced the stock pickups in my early 2007s MIJ Fender 65 reissue – I always thought the original pickups sounded really weak and flat, I generally had always on pedals to balance that out. These pickups sound amazing in comparison, much thicker, higher, clean output. The 3 wire configuration is super interesting as well, allowed me to do some cool phase switching options in my new wiring setup. Would recommend.

Unique! Terrific pickups!

I got the mustang set of round radius blues split blades for a short-scale Musicmaster ii. The guitar just had a weak strat neck pickup that someone put in years ago, but it also had the routing of a Mustang body. I wanted something that could produce a lot of different sounds and have a similar output as my Jazzmaster. I sent an email asking for a recommendation and they suggested these. Clear bright highs and thick lows, very full and powerful, but still a single coil sound without hum. I also use an out-of-phase switch and a jaguar bright switch on the neck. So many tonal possibilities. Not sure how they compare to traditional mustangs but they sound great.

I settled on the Split Blade pup after seeing the footage of Lindy playing them live in a strat. I figured if the man himself digs his noiseless design then I would invest in one. It sounds dreamy and the aged white pup in my shell-pink Mustang is as beautiful as candy. I must admit as a Virginian I appreciate that the pup was made right here.

Best Upgrade I’ve ever bought
I recently started overhauling an old fender mustang & looked into noiseless pickups for recording purposes. I settled on a Dimarzio Cruzer and one of Lindys split blades. While the Dimarzio is great I consistently end up switching it off and use this split blade. The tone is crystal clear and chimes, but can also pick up as much dirt as you want when you dig in. I have bought a p90 from Lindy before and am hooked at this point. Amazing investment, great quality, and customer service is an added bonus. Cheers!

Turns any guitar into a $5000+ pro instrument

put them in a late 50’s duo-sonic

Got the vintage output pickups and put them in a late 50’s duo-sonic, and they are incredible!! Warm and jangly in the neck, bright but not shrill in the bridge …very reminiscent of what a good early 50’s blackguard Tele would be (a bit darker sounding than later Tele’s )

Fender ’67 Mustang

Purchased a set of split blades (vintage output) for a Mustang restoration. One of the original pickups was missing, so after doing some research and reading reviews I contacted Lindy. He helped me guide me on the output I was looking for and answered any of my questions. Even though I had already found the wiring diagram on the Fralin site, he still emailed the link to me after I placed the order – which to me was very important because this guitar did not have the original switches installed, so I had not seen how it was originally wired. The pickups came with plenty of lead wire and fit perfectly. Once it was all put back together, I watched Lindy’s video on pickup height adjustment. Once the height was dialed in, the pickups sound great! The pickups have really given life back to an old guitar! Great products, service, and support!

Glorious and Twangtastic!

I got these pickups to replace the stock pickups that came with my MIJ fender mustang. I bought the guitar online and was disappointed with just how sad the stock pickups were. I decided to get these after a few weeks of debating and finally made the $ plunge. These pickups were way better than I could have imagined!! You really have to hear them in person to hear all the detail, they’re exactly as described. A lot of warmth with thick richness and the kind of twang you want, without the tinny thinness you don’t. They are indeed so very quiet, so much so that I almost forgot to mention it. This company makes great pickups and these split blades are definitely worth the money!

Fantastic!

Installed on my mustang and it came alive! Best upgrade ever. Very quiet. I would buy again in a heartbeat! Jam on world, jam on.

Simply the best

If you have a Mustang and you need it to ROCK these are simply the best pickups in class.

Amazing Sounds – No Hum
Exactly what I was looking for! The Vintage Hot Splitblades I got to sound like hot mustang/strat pickups — with no hum.

I’m going to try out some of the other variations (Blues, Vintage, Super Hot) in other guitars.

Go, Lindy!

These pickups are awesome! I got a new American performer mustang with the Yosemite pickups which sounded great, but it buzzed a lot. I just wanted the same sound without the hum. What I got was more depth and tone too. Best sounding pickups around. I love my mustang even more now. Thanks Lindy!

Amazing
I put the split blades in a mint Japanese Mustang and changed the nut to bone and it is now a fantastic player grade guitar. If you are having any doubts as to whether you should switch out your old Mustang pickups with these split blades, don’t. Amazing pickups! They look great too.

Just installed the vintage split blades into a squire vintage modified mustang. They are exactly what I was hoping for – very versatile. Playing through a fender supersonic and I can dial in the tone for most genres of music. Also very quiet.

“What a difference a blade makes”
I purchased these to replace the pups in my duo sonic which I perform with, as it’s light and has a short scale. The white duo sonic pups really have no tone, so I purchased the black split rail blues model. I’m very pleased with the pickups, they sound great, have excellent control with the 500k pots. The black pickups look great on the orange guitar! Thanks, Lindy and company!

Loving!!!
These are great. I have them now on two guitars, and they sound tremendous! With these I can use one oickup, and not get noise of all sorts. Nice!

I need short-scale guitars and liked the architecture and “feel” of the Fender Duo-Sonic but wasn’t happy at all with how it sounded. I just had these pickups installed and I’m very impressed! Wow! Incredibly quiet and such sweet tone! Makes this relatively “cheap” Duo-Sonic a viable and versatile instrument! Thanks much for a great product and for your help in selecting the right ones for me, Lindy!

I can’t believe it ! How a guitar just bought for the short scale become this outstanding instrument because of your pickups ….( excuse my bad english…). Laurent Bézert.

I purchased a set of the vintage output split blade Mustang pickups for my newly acquired 1994 Japanese reissue mustang. Been playing for 35 years, currently in a classic rock hard rock cover band. I own a 70’Les Paul custom and a ’79 strat. I previously owned a’ 66 Mustang before it was stolen from a gig in 1993. I loved the stock sound of my reissue mustang after some set up and bridge adjustment (just as good as I remember the old ’66) and wanted that exact tone but it made my rig buzz like a bee. So first I got the cavity professionally sheilded which only slightly helped the 60cycle hum. So I took the plunge with these split blades and man these are great.
They sound better than the stock pups, just a hair more output (which is an improvement-basically up to the vintage stratocaster output level where the middle positions [in and out of phase] just start to break up with medium gain {2 O’clock on a real tube}) and a just trace more mids (also actually better) but still definitely jangly, chimey with great single coil twang and spank. The neck and bridge positions sound sooo great! And ZERO hum, even with gain after a compression booster in a room with a bunch of lights on dimmers. Highly recommend these. They look cool too, unique and cooler than stock. This axe can still do indy, alt, garage and/or grunge things but now it only makes the noise you want it to make, and now it’s also now great for classic rock and blues, better for soloing. These pickups have taken my Mustang to the next level from a niche guitar to a professional well rounded guitar while still retaining the Mustang niche and vibe.
