FenderUltra Noiseless Strat Hot Set, 992291000

So my first “real” guitar is this 02 Strat that honestly has just always sounded terrible. I never liked playing it but have always loved the look of a sunburst Strat, and it has tons of sentimental value to me. It’s more or less been wall art in my house for 10 years.Well, I’m in the market for a new guitar, leaning towards a jazzmaster, but can’t find one I’m stoked on. Was working the other day watching Tame Impala playing innerspeaker at the wave house, and saw he was playing a sunburst Strat with a cool red tortoise pickguard and parchment knobs and coils. It looked so good I just thought to myself, hey… I can recreate this.So I ordered the pickguard, knobs, and found these parchment noiseless pickups. I always knew that this guitar suffered from the coils, I just never thought I could install them. Well, a couple of YouTube videos later, I grabbed my soldering iron, took my guitar apart, and performed open surgery on my Strat. It was a very simple process (if you know how to solder) and I plugged in. Nothing. There was no sound……and that’s a good thing. The pickups are amazing. This thing has almost 0 feedback from coil hum, something that has plagued this guitar since I got it. But not only that, this guitar sounds like a $1500 Strat. (Yes while I was at it I also tuned my string action which I’ve never done on this guitar and it feels so much better).I’ve played and owned a lot of guitars. I’m not the smartest or most well versed in pickups. but I saved myself about $1500 doing this instead of buying another guitar, and may even replace the neck for better feel.All in all: if you’re looking for a great pickup that’s clean, quiet, and has a lot of dynamic range, get these.

El vendedor cumplió con todas las espectativas, son 100% originales, llegaron a tiempo bien protegidas y nuevas

ピックアップ載せ替え前と後では倍以上の電圧量で実際にアンプを通して音の違いに感動してます。

I installed this in a MiM strat (2020 era model). It didn't fit properly. I had to router out about .25 to .5 of an inch to get them to fit properly.It wasn't hard or concerning but this cut off the shielding that was already in there and I had to re-shielded it. Overall, worth it because these picks-ups are wonderful but it's not a drop-in replacement. Takes some work.But, they sound amazing with both cleans and high gain amps. I use an HX stomp with them and run all sorts of AMP models. Sound so freakin great. And the noiselessness is awesome.Note that they are basically humbucking pickups but instead of being next to each other, they are stacked or something. It's a simplistic understanding of how they work but it's why they are much taller than standard single-coils and thus require trimming.

Fender keeps improving on their noiseless pickup design. This is my third set of Fender noise less pickups. I have owned vintage noiseless, hot noiseless and now ultra hot noiseless. The ultra hots are a big improvement on the older Fender ceramic hot pickups. I also have Dimarzio injector noiseless pickups. The Dimarzio pickups are louder but but Fender ultra hot pickups get closer to single coil tone and retain that snappy.strat sound. They also retain certain single coil qualities I have not heard in other stacked single coil pickups.
