Lindy Fralin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lindy Fralin is a manufacturer of "boutique" guitar pickups based in Richmond, VA. He got his start in the early 90's winding on a home made machine by hand because he was not satisfied with the products that were available on the market. After a number of years experimenting with various formulas he found one that improved the tone of standard single coil windings.

A number of guitar players heard the resulting product and asked him to do the same for their guitars. Lindy perceived the lack of after market products to improve the basic tonal qualities of mass produced guitars and started Lindy Fralin Pickups. He and his staff now "handwind" pickups to the exacting specifications of each customer. They also perform rewinds.
