J'ai beaucoup de parasites environnants dans la pièce où je joue habituellement. Difficile de déterminer exactement la source du problème, l'âge de l'installation électrique est sans doute en cause, ainsi que la présence d'une voie ferrée à proximité. En jouant sur ampli, les parasites étaient très présents et n'étaient pas dus à une boucle de masse. J'ai opté pour ces micros afin de pouvoir limiter les parasites sans pour autant trop modifier le son avec des filtres. Mission accomplie après l'installation de ces micros sur ma Michael Kelly 1953 (type Telecaster avec sélecteur micros 4 positions) : les parasites sont largement réduits et c'est tout à fait jouable sans filtrer ou altérer le son. L'installation requiert quand même de savoir ce qu'on fait et de bien planifier, ainsi que savoir souder un peu (même s'il n'y a rien de compliqué en soi. Le son reste digne de celui d'une telecaster, sans altération. Parfait !

Bought these to upgrade my Squire Affinity telecaster. Wasn't sure if the taller pickups would fit in the 1.5” body, but i had no problem installing these. No extra routing or shaving wood at all.No noise at all and the tone is gorgeous.Would absolutely recommend these pickups.

La instalación en mi Squier ha sido relativamente sencilla, solo tuve que limar un poco la ranura de la pastilla del mástil del golpeador, no encajaba bien.El sonido es sorprendente, resulta que la pastilla del mástil que nunca usaba por su sonido opaco ahora es mi favorita, por fin tengo ese sonido de Tele clásico con twang.La pastilla del puente es muy potente, se puede tocar hasta metal. La combinación de ambas pastillas hace que sea realmente versátil.Ahora sí que dan ganas de tocar la guitarra. El sonido es puro telecaster y muy muy detallado.El logo tipo de Fender en las pastillas de la todo el toque final a la Squier, genial!

One day after installing in new telecaster build, the bridge pickup failed. Tried to reach Fender for warranty. They never answered the phone call. Put on hold for an excessive amount of time. Seller was very slow in responding and offered no assistance.

Modded a Tele Pro 2 with these so make it noiseless (the more expensive Ultra Tele line comes stock with these Noiseless Pups). These are truly noiseless, even with fuzz and OD pedals engaged. In a live band mix, the tone difference is indistinguishable from the V Mod 2 pickups the Pro 2 comes stock with. Recommended.

I installed these in my '05 Fender FSR Telly MiM, and they got perfectly.Wiring was dead simple, and the result is a more defined classic telecaster sound. Granted, a buzz/hum is still present, but this is undoubtedly a grounding issue as it was more apparent with the old pickups.Very pleased with this product. Although the wiring diagram included could be more detailed.8/10, get it!

You get what you paid for... I don't say that about much Fender stuff too :)Very nicely manufactured pickups. Installed fine and sounded great!My only complaint is with packaging... the clear box top lid sits right on the top of the silver capsule (neck) pickup and tends to mark up pickup cover during shipping, leaving scratched/abrasions on the silver capsule and can not be polished out. A simple plastic sheet cover over the pickup capsule should help immensely.

Leider ist der Bridge Pickup, wie bei so vielen anderen Rezensionen, defekt geliefert.

A little bit wider than the standard fenders, had to route the pockets out a little to get the pick guard and bridge on.I have a Sega kit Tele so that might be the reason. I have these and a Wilkerson Strat middle pickup on my Tele with a five way switch. Louder than the standard Fender Tele pickups too.

I put this set in my classic vibe telecaster. The pickups take up every bit of space your cavities will allow. Had to drill a lower hole in the bridge cavity to get wires out of the way and Dremel a bit of meat in the neck to do the same, not a lot but just a little. The neck pickup is high so there was no way to lower it, lucky for me the height was just right. With all that being said I still think it was worth while. These Generation 4 pickups sound more like single coil tele pickup than the Vintage noiseless do. Gen4 has better eq and overall tone, however a bit less bass and volume (no squish in the neck position). My only complaint about noiseless single coils size pickups are there’s no “quack” or “throaty” attack. But that’s what happens when you use opposing coils (humbucker), to produce no noise, it’s a trade off.These are humbuckers made to sound and look like single coils. I would rather have a full size humbucker that I love the sound of, rather than an okay single coils size pickup that never quite sounds like a good single coil or even a good sounding humbucker.

I've been playing for over 30 years. I own several telecasters and strats and have used quite a few 'noiseless' pickup. For comparison, I've used active systems (EMG), Fender SCNs, DiMarzio Area's and some of the smaller pickup builders. I like my telecaster to sound like a tele but with a little more output than a true vintage pickup. These pickups nail the tone and there is ZERO hum. The take overdrive really well, they have spank and sparkle like a tele should. I did have to enlarge the hole between the bridge pickup and control cavity, just a tiny bit off the bridge pickup cavity side.The pickups are well made, quite tall compared to other stacked noiseless. Nice thick lead wires, twisted from the factory.Overall, a fantastic value considering the price and tone!

Great pickups. Beautiful sound, no 60 cycle hum at all. All the benefits of single coil with humbucker-like quiet. Would recommend these noiseless pickups to any Telecaster player looking to improve their sound quality.
