Members wednesdaysworse Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 Anyone have any experience with Suhr back plate silent single coil system ($259)? Seems to be made only for Strats.Are its results similar to having noiseless or HB PUPS? That's what the reviews say.What happens in notch positions 2 and 4 if the middle PUP is RWRP?Can electronics be modified to be used in a Tele?Any info appreciated.

Members DaSkip Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm in the process of shielding a stratocaster right now. If this doesn't solve my problem, then the BPSSC system may come into play. If you use the BPSSC on a strat you have to replace the middle pickup with a normally wound (not reverse wound) pickup. The shielding method I am using can be found here: http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/shielding/shield3.php Suhr recommends shielding along with the BPSSC system. I'm trying the cheaper route first.

Members MrMunky Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 I just got a suhr with the standard SSC system (not the backplate version) and it is really neat. I have no idea how it works, but it seems to do something that sends a hum with reverse polarity through your signal, so it cancels the hum of your single coils. If that's correct, you'd hear the hum on the 2/4 positions if you had a reverse polarity middle pickup. That said, I really have no idea how it works. It's not like a humbucker or noiseless system in that it doesn't change the tone of the pickups. I have another suhr with the same pickups, no SSC, and the pickups sound the same. Fender's Noiseless pickups and humbuckers sound, feel, and respond different from single coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Friendly Ranger Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 The clips I've heard of this system with Suhr V60's are incredible. I just wish they had the equivalent for Tele's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the SSCBP, and it really does work well, there is a VERY, VERY SLIGHT tonal difference, so slight that if I left the room for a moment and someone swithced it off the only thing I would prolly notice is the hum. Considering how much work I do in front of a computer screen, it's totally worth it. Way better than any noiseless pups I've tried, even Kinmans.
