Q: What does "Ultra Noiseless" mean for my guitar's tone?

"Ultra Noiseless" technology effectively eliminates the annoying 60-cycle hum often associated with traditional single-coil pickups. This means you can enjoy crystal-clear, articulate Stratocaster tones, even with high-gain amplifiers or in environments prone to electrical interference. Your sound will be pure and focused, allowing your playing to shine without distraction.

Q: How do the "Hot" specifications of these pickups affect my playing?

The "Hot" winding of these pickups provides a higher output signal compared to standard Stratocaster pickups. This translates to a fatter, more powerful tone that can drive your amplifier harder, resulting in richer overdrive and increased sustain. It gives your Strat a more aggressive voice, making it excellent for rock, blues, and any style needing extra punch and presence.

Need additional help?

Q: Is installing the Fender Ultra Noiseless Hot pickup set complicated?

Installing these pickups involves standard guitar wiring procedures, including soldering. They are designed to fit most Stratocaster guitars without modification. Fender provides wiring diagrams, and if you're comfortable with basic electronics, you can do it yourself. For optimal results or if you're unsure, a professional guitar technician or your Sweetwater Sales Engineer can offer guidance.

I wanted to try noiseless single coils and decided on these after watching hours of reviews and demos. I had no problems fitting or wiring them up and the tone is pretty stellar. Very clear with no hum. It seems Fender has really gotten the noiseless pickup figured out. I'll be putting some noiseless pups in my jazz bass next.

These pickups produce a nice clear clean tone.They do eliminate the hum that regular single coils have.I can tell very little character differences from regular single coils but not much that it matters. My strat still sounds like a strat. I'm pleased with these pickups.

First off, the color is AGED WHITE (Sweetwater at this writing says its cream color) and there are actually 3 wires from each pickup, one goes to the switch the others to the ground. The pole widths of the neck and middles are wider to be better positioned under the strings. Each pickup is for a specific position. The covers ae part of the pickup and do not seem removable without damaging them. Unique threaded mounting screws and rubber spacers make mounting easier as the screws and spacers will stay put as you install them. In the box is a wiring diagram "example" from the Ultra strat. Just replace your pickups as wired already or use your original wiring diagram. The cap should be .022 which most strats are already. Regular 250K pots as normally found in a Strat so no pots needing to be replaced. Don't let "Hot' or the high resistance mislead you. Resistance is only part of the equation. These are not super hot pickups. They sound like good single coils with no noise, maybe a little bigger sounding. String to string definition is amazing. There are no pickup height instructions instructions in the box. Bass side should be 8/64 and treble side 6/64 when you press down on the last fret as a starting point and sound fine and also balanced to me that way. As you raise them they get more treble and louder but I did not like them any higher myself - others might. They are big pickups height-wise so they may not fit in a thin Squire. In a MIM and American body they fit in easily. These Ultra series have RED bottoms. The Hot versions are labeled MODERN. Personally, I think Fender needs to better explain the HOT vs the standard Ultra's tone and output to help buyers. Regardless these do sound good and are exactly what I wanted. What people eventually will add to the comparisons is the way they react to picking which I can't do as I no longer have my other strats with Kinmans, Dimarzios, Seymour Duncan or real Strat pickups.

I had the original hot noiseless pickups. They were good, not great. Took a chance on these and I love them. They are hot but not too hot. There's some great vintage sounds in there. I installed these in a fender American performer strat. You can get all the great strat tones out of these pickups. I find myself using the middle pickup quite often. I get a great blues tone out of it.

Pros and Cons:

I wanted to replace the pickups in my beater Mexican Stratocaster with these.

Cons: Though the specs say "Strat Sized" and that is the only dimension published, it only applies to the pickguard cutout size.

These pickups are considerably deeper than the stock pickups, so to get them to fit, I had to route out the cavity depth by another 3/8". Unless you are comfortable doing this, or know someone who works on guitars, I would rethink your purchase. I have no problem using tools on this as it is not any special vintage or custom shop guitar. It is a bit of a pain in the ..., especially if you have already lined the cavity with noise shielding.

Pros: The pickups do sound good. A bit more clarity, output and consistency from string to string than the originals. These are not ultra-hot, but they ARE as advertised less noisy, which is why I really wanted to try them. Working in a studio situation with a lot of equipment having a quiet guitar is always appreciated.
