Seymour Duncan Hot Chicken vs. Fender Vintage Noiseless

[Butch Snyder]

Hey guys, I have a '99 Fender American Deluxe Tele, ash body, maple fretboard. The Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups are great. Nothing we're always chasing tone, right? Anyone here have any experience with the Seymour Duncan Hot Chicken Tele set?

Well, the Hot Chicken were designed to be...hot Tele pickups that still have a little twang, but are great for higher gain playing. It seems the Fenders are designed for vintage Tele tone but noiseless.

I have a hot chicken neck pickup and actually replaced a vintage noiseless pickup with it. Can not vouch for the other positions though.

Can you give me your experience with the Hot Chicken neck pickup as compared to the Vintage Noiseless? I would love to hear.

I just read your post about the Hot Chicken neck pickup. I misunderstood. I didn't know you meant Strat neck pickup.

Oh yeah mine is a Strat, but either way I like it. Sorry if it’s not helpful. My fave tele pickup is the Vintage stack which again is not helpful to you at all. Anything else I can do to make comparisons to things you dont want, I’m your guy.

I love the Fender Noiseless series, but would like to check out the Hot Chicken units - Tele or Strat.
