"Excellent choice for your money !"

Feature:
Comes with 03 pots, capacitors, all mounting parts, also a wiring diagram ... all we need are there ! Wish Fender can produce its pickups in pre-wired set like EMG's

Quality:
Kind of fragile. To handle with care

Value:
worth for the money you spent.

Desirability:
Not the most beautiful but very acceptable in general. No complaint !

Sound:
Using these noiseless pickups, you should already know what kind of music you want to play with. Dont expect a very punchy low, strong mids and scorching highs for heavy rock, but the Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups will offer you a very neat and nice sweet sound in all range, hot enough for blues rock and for sure, no embarrassing hum! No wonder why it has been a specific set on an Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster. Great versatility !

Support:
I didn*t have any problem yet.

Overall:
I am quite satisfied with these Vintage noiseless pickups, will keep it on my strat and have no intention to upgrade it. For a different sound,I may buy another Fender guitar or just change the settings on my amplifiers in combination with the guitar processor.

"Noiseless is not always better..."

Feature:
A four year old with Crayons could produce better instructions. There are no options to determine placement and sound positioning of the capacitor(s) to make the intensity of the power that they should have. Instructions suck but you can search the net and find far better information regarding the installation.

Value:
Overall, the Texas Special reverse wound have much more power and are actually less expensive.

Desirability:
It is all fine and good that the "Noiseless" are supposed to look as if they are old, however, it does nothing for the asthetics of a guitar if you don't want black or the aged white or cream color.

Sound:
Overall the sound is extremely clear but had to move the .22 capacitor for the bridge pickup to have the power I wanted.

Support:
No need to call as I anticipate the information will be about as helpful as the instructions.

Overall:
Changing the pots, using correct capacitors and positioning may be better suited for your needs. I will keep these a while but plan on changing to better pickups or back to stock later down the trail.
