An Evolution of the Fluence Signature Series, Built for the Extreme
A key figure in modern heavy tones, Stephen Carpenter has evolved his Fluence Signature humbuckers to cover a range extending to the 9-string guitar. This new version retains the striking visual identity of the model while pushing the sonic palette further with the addition of a third voice on each pickup.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This set is aimed at musicians seeking a pickup capable of handling big chords, percussive palm-muting, and very low riffs without collapsing, while maintaining a clear attack and tight tracking. Ideal for modern metal, prog, djent, alternative, and any situation where precision and gain headroom are essential, both in the studio and on stage.
Alnico and Ceramic: Three Voices, Two Complementary Personalities
The Alnico pickup focuses on musicality, power, and a full response, equally comfortable with chords and solos, featuring a clear, scooped, and authentic single-coil voice. The Ceramic pickup delivers a sharp attack, assertive aggressiveness, and roaring lows, offering both a modern high output and a more passive-spirited option without losing the Fluence signature. On each pickup, Voice 3 provides a true "single coil" alternative to brighten a mix, emphasize snap, or gain definition in dense arrangements.
