Members PinkFuzz65 Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 lace sensors. http://www.agi-lace.com/id go with golds if your looking for traditional. Better than the SCNs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chippy Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm really impressed with Dimarzio's noiseless SCs. Alls I can say is try 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surfdude Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I like the fender vintage noiseless and not the SCN's. The vintage noiseless pickup went out so I had it repaired and it went out again so I bought a set of SCN's and hated the sound. Hard to explain but not near the strat sound or mojo. I even had a tele vintage noiseless in the neck position of my strat until I sold the guitar. By far, my favorite pickup. Surfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thecornman Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Dimarzio Area '58 and '61 are the ones I dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dman11 Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 +1 on DiMarzio noiseless. I have DP402 Virtual Vintage Blues and they are really stratty for stacked single sized humbuckers. the technology DiMarzio uses in it's construction is spectacular. they're competitively priced too.

Members Faber Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 Why would you want pickups that don't make any noise? I kinda like the Lace Sensor Golds - a bit different/thicker than strat sc's, but they are only noisy when I play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stephen78 Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have Fender's "Hot Noiseless" in my Strat right now. They're the same ones used in the Jeff Beck sig Strat. They're pretty good...but I'm gonna stick some sort of humbucker in the bridge eventually and try the DiMarzio Area 58's in the middle and neck...just for fun!

Frets99 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have the GFS Neovin Power Rock set in my strat. I have played the vintage set and thought they sounded like a true vintage single coil tone minus the single coil noise. Here I compare the neovins to a set of Duncan Designed Alnico pups which have a nice hot single coil tone. The GFS Neovins covered that range and were more toneful doing it as well.

Members Karma1 Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have Lace Sensors in my Strat (silver/neck, gold/middle, blue/bridge) and they sound great, plus being noiseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hot Noiseless, or Lace Holy Grails I would go with. I like the SCN also. I wouldn't use Vintage Noiseless or Three Golds by Lace either. But thats my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crazyman123 Posted July 26, 2009 Members Share Posted July 26, 2009 Can anyone tell meif the Lace Holy Grails can do Hi-gain stuff and aound good? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr_Kuh Posted July 26, 2009 Members Share Posted July 26, 2009 Holy grails can do higain stuff but I would suggest you to get red sensors instead of them if you only want them for highgain [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FineLine Posted July 26, 2009 Members Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have the Fender Vintage Noiseless and they are quiet and sound really good. ...same here, although I have been looking into different pups, Kinmans & Fralins (don't think Fs are noiseless though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted July 26, 2009 Members Share Posted July 26, 2009 Kinmans ARE excellent ... I had their AVn Blues set in the MIM 50s Classic I sold to help finance my (Hot Noiseless-loaded) Jeff Beck Custom Shop model, and once in a very great while I wish I'd swapped 'em over before selling ... But the Hot Noiseless are pretty damn good and maintain hull integrity even under hi gain. The Kinmans were very slightly toppier and more immediate with a teensy fraction more high-end sizzle, but the HNs are a touch warmer, 'spreadier' and juicier. Both are great PUs and both are authentically Stratty -- it's just a case of your own personal taste in tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted July 26, 2009 Members Share Posted July 26, 2009 looking at putting noiseless pickups in my strat...Recommendations? Looking for traditional sounding pickups.any price... The Duncan vintage rails (imo) have a nice vintage "Buddy Holly" 50's strat vibe to them. If your not into rails then the Duck buckers are similar.
