A Significant Evolution of the Fluence Signature Range
The latest collaboration between Fishman and Stephen Carpenter, this Signature Fluence set evolves the formula while preserving the DNA that has captivated modern guitarists: clear attack, solid lows, and exceptional clarity. Available in a family designed for guitars with 6 to 9 strings, here it offers the 6-string version, ideal for modern metal configurations and performance-oriented setups.
For Whom and in What Playing Context?
This set is aimed at guitarists who demand a tight, precise, and punchy sound: metal, alternative, prog, djent, as well as heavy rock requiring excellent note separation. In the studio, it facilitates clean and consistent takes; on stage, it maintains the same clarity at high volume and under heavy gain. Whether playing rhythm with palm-muting or lead, you get a fast response and very controlled articulation.
Alnico + Ceramic: Three Voices, Two Characters, Remarkable Versatility
The Alnico pickup emphasizes musicality and expressiveness: a high modern output level, controlled warmth, and surprising dynamics for an active pickup. It shines equally on big chords and solos, and additionally offers a 3rd voice with a clear, scooped, and authentic "single coil" character, perfect for opening the spectrum without losing precision.
The Ceramic pickup delivers a sharper attack and aggressive presence, ideal for tight rhythms and roaring lows. Its voicings cover a high-output active humbucker with a clean and warm crunch, a more organic attack with a passive feel, and a 3rd "single coil" voice that is more biting and overwound for incisive and defined parts.
