FLEOR Hot Dual Rail Humbucker Single-Coil-Sized Guitar Humbucker Pickup(9-10K), Black

Fleor makes good pickups. I have several varieties in my cheaper guitars and they always sound great. It makes one wonder that if Fleor can make great pickups at this price then why is everyone else gouging you because of their name recognition. Wire bobbin and pole pieces. That is all there is to any pickup. All of that cost less than $5. I'm glad Fleor recognizes that and passes on the savings for a good product. THIS CAME UP UNDER BRIDGE TELE PICKUP SEARCH. THIS IS NOT FOR THE BRIDGE POSITION!

The thing sounds great and it did seem to be wax potted but not very well as it still squealed a bit. Another round of wax potting here at the house got it sounding perfect. Used as a middle pickup in a HSH Ibanez and it really adds alot of strength to the tone.

EDIT July 11, 2022: This has become one of my favorite pickups, second only to a set of active EMGs in a different guitar. I'm back today to buy a couple more. I've also added a star, going from 4 to five because, jeez...13 bucks? Even now? An absolutely astounding value.-------------This is a nice little pickup. Installed it last night in a low-end Squire Strat in which I had previously installed a full set of Fender Tex-Mex pickups. The Tex-Mex bridge pickup was way, way, way too bright and brittle, so I felt the guitar would benefit from a Hot Rails-style pickup in this position. The Fleor required the pickup hole in the pickguard to be opened up slightly on the ends to accommodate the new pickups more squared-off ends. This was a trivial task and took all of about a minute and a half.***WIRING*** : Forget the youtube 'experts' with regards to this pickup; here's how you wire it up for a standard series-wired humbucker: Green (+) to the pickup selector switch, black and bare wires ("-" and ground respectively) tied together and soldered to the back of a pot, red and white wires connected together and taped off. With that said though, at this end of the price spectrum, there's no guarantee that the colors on the pickup you receive will be the same as the colors on mine. Lacking any documentation whatsoever, you will be left to your own devices to determine which wires do what. I recommend using your favorite search engine on how to determine a pickup's polarity and which wires go with which coil. Once you have that sorted out out - it's really pretty straight-forward - just connect the negative of one coil to the positive of the other and tape them off, connect the bare ground wire to your remaining negative and solder both to the back of a pot, and then connect the remaining positive to your selector switch. Done.Finally, how does it sound? Not bad. In the bridge position of this low-end Squire Strat and connected to a fender TBX tone control, it's bright and reasonably articulate. The Strat character still comes through, but there's something else sort of lo-fi going on here that I really like. In comparison to a Duncan Hot Rails, which I have in the bridge position of a mexi-strat, also with a TBX tone control....the Duncan is darker, fatter, and more articulate and balanced, while the Fleor is (again) brighter, and much more in-your-face. The Fleor has a lot more of the skanky high-output single coil tone to it, which, in my opinion is a very cool and usable tone in its own right. This would be a great pickup for classic punk, 70s hard rock, etc.Overall, this pickup is a winner. It's infinitely more usable than the Tex-Mex that it replaced, works really well combined with the middle pickup, and sounds good both clean and dirty. And at eleven bucks, represents one heck of a value. It would have been five stars except for the fact of no documentation.

I honestly wasn't expecting much but this is a heck of a lot of pickup for $15. I needed a humbucker in my strat for hi gain stuff. I'm really glad I didn't go with a more expensive pickup. It also was a drop in replacement for my MIM Player, you just need to install it at an angle to clear the top bobbin.

This pickup was installed in a HSH Warmoth Velocity body along with the Air Norton and Tone Zone with 500k pots. I was originally looking for a Duncan Cool Rails but it was back ordered so I decided to give this one a try. The pickup was installed easily and actually sounds good into a Fender amp with compressor and/or overdrive. I can’t say how it compares to the previously mentioned Duncan, but it performs well enough to be played and is very quiet. Notch position with the humbucker gives a surprisingly good tone and it also sounds good by itself. No complaints!

after a little user error trying to wire this up for a on/on/on switch, i got it working as a standalone humbucker in the neck position. it sounds nice and clear, no single-coil noise, and sounds like a neck pickup for sure.. i got it set up to blend with a coil-switched middle HB so it is nice using it to beef up a few of the other settings or have some out-of-phase funky options. i cant say i really bother with the neck position on my guitars 98% of the time, so this gets the job done if you need to fill a spot. it looks cool and fit fine in my tele body / strat-sized pickguard. you may have to wiggle or guide it around a little as you screw in the pickup to the pickguard, but it was a good size for me. while i cant judge the tone too harshly as the neck HB is just not a position i use very often, i will say i dont seem to be having any microphonic issues, which is good!

Good pickup! Bought the cream colored one for my guitar. It was a bit difficult, but I eventually got it to fit without having to modify my pickgaurd.The pickup I got had a 9.28k output, which is in the stated 9-10k ohm range. It's much hotter than my cheap Strat single coils that measure around 6k ohms. It sounds like a hunbucker, a much warmer sound, great for rock and metal.A lot of people say these are microphonic, but I didn't have any issues with it. I tried multiple times to scream into these pickups but they never transmitted my scream through the amp. You might not be as lucky as me though.For the wiring, two of the wires come soldered together - those are for split coiling. If you want to just have a humbucker, just put some electrical tape on them and forget them. There's also another set of wires that are joined together - there will be a ground wire and a shield wire (it'll look like a silver wire) - these go to the pots. The last remaining wire will go to the selector switch. Easy to solder, I got it on my first try and it was the first time I ever soldered anything in my life!Overall, these are a good upgrade for people with cheapo guitars like me trying to make them sound better.

Pickup came wrapped in aluminum foil and in a plastic zip bag. Very impressed with that. The best thing was that the white and red wires were already soldered together and easily displayed which was the hot wire (green). A very clean installation and most of all it sounds great!

If you know how to wax pot a pickup, that would fix this thing right up to a 5 star review. Its no duncan by any means. But its clear and loud. You can tap/ split if you choose. But without potting these things pick up every little tap & rub on the body. But for a $15 pickup I dont have any real complaints.

This was a fun and easy drop-in upgrade for my daughters Squier Bronco bass (comes with a single coil strat-style pickup). Humbucking sound without having to router out the pickguard. Sweet! Only downside is it’s little less comfy to rest the thumb on while playing

decent but inexpensive pickup. Has 4 wire connection so can be used for coil splitting. Sound is fine. Bear in mind its the same size as single coil pickups so it won't have the same # of windings as a full size humbucker, output is in the same range as a single coil.

This does not fit a standard single coil hole on your Strat. The four corners are in the way and if you got it in, the pickup would be to small side to side and you’d have gaps. Doesn’t fit hot rail covers either. Expect to do some modifications.

These sound just as good and perform equally well as compared to pickups costing many times the price. Very happy with my purchase.
