Fluence Signature Series Javier Reyes 8-String Pickup Set

One Fluence Signature Series Javier Reyes 8-String Pickup

Javier Reyes playing guitar with Fluence pickups on stage

Javier Reyes’ distinct tone, and innovative, classically influenced approach on 8-string guitar is the perfect complement to his Animals As Leaders (AAL) bandmate Tosin Abasi.

Whether he’s performing with AAL or one of his other projects; Mestis and T.R.A.M., Javier is a thoughtful player who knows what he wants, and most importantly – why he wants it. That thoughtfulness led Javier on a quest that led him to Fishman Fluence, and to the creation of his signature pickup set.

Javier’s pickups are unique among other Fluence artist sets in that they reflect his desire for warmer passive tones, smooth musical top-end, and organic dynamics. And, like all Fishman Fluence pickups, the Javier Reyes signature set is Multi Voice and free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound pickups.

Fluence Signature Series Javier Reyes Pickups:

Are Multi-Voice. Set and forget, or wire-up to toggle between three musically complimentary voices.
Drop right in and replace 6, 7 and 8-string humbucker pickups.
Are rechargeable on your guitar. Optional lithium-ion battery pack offers weeks, not hours, of playing time.

Two Fluence Signature Series Javier Reyes 8-String Pickups

Straight from Javier Reyes:

I wanted something that had tons of presence, and tons of low end, without too much mud. I also wanted something that had the characteristics of my touch, allowing you to hear my actual guitar as well.

Bridge Pickup Voicings:

Voice 1: Thick low end, low midrange growl plus aggressive upper mids, able to create a huge wall of sound while still retaining note-to-note separation.
