Known for their innovation and studio-grade performance, Fishman pickups have become the gold standard for players who want more control, less noise, and a cleaner signal across every genre.

A Legacy of Innovation, Trusted by Players Everywhere

Since the early 1980s, Fishman has been on a mission to help musicians sound their best. What started with a single acoustic preamp quickly evolved into a full lineup of groundbreaking amplification solutions trusted by players across every genre.

From the busker on a street corner to the guitarist headlining a sold-out tour, Fishman pickups are everywhere. Why? Great engineering paired with a real understanding of what guitarists need. It's no surprise they’ve become the go-to for players who demand tone that’s true to their hand.

Find the Right Fishman Pickups for Your Sound

Fishman pickups cover a lot of ground; electric, acoustic, and everything in between. Here’s what you’ll find in stock at AMS. 

Fluence Electric Pickups

These aren’t your average humbuckers. Fishman Fluence pickups offer multi-voice flexibility, no hum, and consistent tone across every string. Choose from modern active styles, classic PAF voicings, or artist signature sets from names like Tosin Abasi, Mick Thomson, Devin Townsend, and Mike Inez.

Acoustic Soundhole Pickups

Fishman’s Rare Earth and PowerTap pickups sit right in the soundhole and capture rich, detailed acoustic tone with minimal feedback. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming hard, they keep your dynamics intact and your soundstage clear.

Onboard Preamp Systems

Presys and Prefix onboard preamps combine a pickup and control panel for volume, EQ, and notch filtering, ideal for stage-ready acoustic-electric guitars. They're compact, clean, and tour-tested.

Piezo & Transducer Pickups

For classical guitar, violin, mandolin, and other acoustic instruments, Fishman’s piezo and transducer options mount under the saddle or soundboard for accurate, transparent tone that doesn’t get in the way of your playing style

Find Your Fluence

Each set of Fishman pickups uses stacked printed circuit boards instead of traditional wire-wound coils. That means you get multiple voicings, zero hum, and consistent output, without the tonal compromises of passive designs.

Here’s how to find your match:

  • Classic Humbuckers: Alnico magnets with vintage PAF warmth and a second voicing for boosted output. Ideal for blues, classic rock, and smooth leads.
  • Modern Humbuckers: Available in ceramic or Alnico. Ceramic gives you tight, aggressive crunch; Alnico adds warmth and clarity. Both offer fluid high-gain voicing.
  • Signature Sets: Designed in collaboration with artists, each set captures their unique articulation, EQ curves, and response.
  • Single-Width & Strat Sets: True single-coil sparkle, minus the hum, perfect for funk, pop, and glassy cleans.

Frequently Asked Questions: Fishman Pickups

Still sorting out the details? These common questions about Fishman pickups can help clear things up. 

What makes Fishman pickups different from traditional pickups?

Fishman pickups, especially the Fluence series, use modern circuit board construction instead of wound wire coils. This gives them multiple voicings, no hum, and consistent tone across every string and fret.

Are Fishman pickups active or passive?

Most Fishman pickups are active and require a power source, typically a rechargeable battery pack or 9V. This design allows for enhanced clarity, gain control, and multi-voice options you won’t find in passive pickups.

Do Fishman Fluence pickups really have multiple voicings?

They do. With a push-pull pot or toggle, you can switch between different tonal characters — like vintage PAF vs. hot-rodded humbucker — without changing pickups or losing output balance.
