Incoming NPD - lreese - 05-27-2016
I just pulled the trigger on my 1st Fralin.
9200 wind Twangmaster.
I thought I'd go with the box stock one now and see if I want to go hotter or not on the wind.

You will like that just the way it is most likely , reminds me I should do the soldering on 2 guitars that have been laying around here forever.

Its been a very long time since I tried anything Wide-Range HB like...
But I was fortunate enough to have a Wide-range humbucker Tele in my hands a few times - 35 years ago!
RE: Incoming NPD - lreese - 06-03-2016
Well its here and installed...
After 5 minutes or so, its as advertised. Its Tele like, has that little bit of nickel cover roundness that I'm digging.
#2 Quack is there - a little different, but I'm expecting that.
9200 winds is about 8.2K, Single wire al a Gibson PU.
The bad - well had to reverse phase on my V60LP's. Don't like doing that but I want things to play well together.

Spent a little more time with it - Definitely has a Tele Kerrang ™ going on. Sight unseen, you might say its a Tele if you heard it.
Plays well with the SC's. The TB's set right now to be a little louder than the single's.
No issues getting workable tones with distortion - I'd say its slightly bigger toned than a Tele PU, roll off the tone a little and you got it. Probably would be a even better hitting the amp with a Toob Screamerish pedal.
So far, its looking like a good option for someone who hates bone-stock Strat bridge tone (I like it myself) but has to have the #2 quack. Standard humbuckers don't do that very well IME.

Lindey makes a hell of a pickup. My Fralin guitars are among my best sounding axes.
