Single coil sound, hot and noiseless???

[Thor]

Hi gang,

Thought I'd check the big brains of the people on the forum.

Anyone know of a single coil pickup that looks like a standard strat p-up,

buuut....the damn thing is VERY hot and noise free too?

Fender makes a "hot" noiseless pickup but I suspect it's a bit wimpy. Maybe I'm wrong!!!!!

Any brand, I don't care. Three things!!!

1. looks stock
2. sounds damn hot!!!
3. doesn't hum like a muthaf%$er

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your fan,

Thor

hmm...the Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Solo, the Fender Noiseless Hot is pretty hot, or maybe a custom pickup from Steven Kirsting. Pretty cheap, and damn good.

Check out the listings on the SD main website. There must be something to suit you there.

The Virtual Vintage Solo I had at the bridge of my strat was VERY hot for a single. Really quiet too. It's not going to sound like a strat pickup though, which might or might not be a good thing for you.

Yep, that's one of the better ones out there. I believe Kinman makes a higher output model that's noiseless, but I have no experience with those, and they are very expensive. For $40, you can't go wrong with the Bill Lawrence L-290S...although the wait is usually anywhere from 4-8 weeks.

Great answers!!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time.

LOVE seymour duncan, but until they make a hum-cancelling, very high output for standard strat pickup.

Its gotta be dimarzio.

Thanks again.

Seymour Duncan Hot Stacks I have one in my tele neck and I love it. It's quiet but still gets a hotter sound, with a little more midrange than the regular stack or single coil.

The only problem with this one is that it doesn't look exactly stock.
