Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2: http://www.dimarzio.com/node/2205
For neck and middle, you can get the same thing, or get these Virtual Vintage Blues: http://www.dimarzio.com/node/2203
If you want the neck and middle to be just a tad smokier, get the Virtual Vintage 54 Pro

Getting 2 Vintage Hot Stack Plus pickups will do it. Add a Custom Stack Plus in the bridge for more output there. It is difficult to sound just like a traditional single coil with more output and be noiseless- as it gets hotter, you lose highs. As you add a noise-cancelling coil, it will also change the sound.
Although a Stack version of the Antiquity Texas Hots could be made in the Custom Shop...hmmmm.

Don't forget the Dimarzio Area 67. Loads of twang, completely silent. Check em out, if it's Texas tone you're after I guarantee you'll be impressed.

If you want a strat on roids, look into the fender clapton mid boost. That with a plain old set of vintage noiseless goes from classic twang to throaty humbucker like sounds with the roll of a knob. Its a lot of fun to play.easy to quickly dial in a lot of different tones

i have a clapton boost and i love it. i have classic stack + neck and middle with a vintage hot stack bridge. while its a great unit, i dont think it makes a single coil sound like a humbucker. it adds a ton of mids and output for a fat sound but i wouldnt call it a humbucker sound

Are you 100% sure you need noiseless? Single coils are so much juicier.:naughty:

I'm a big fan of Fenders Hot Noiseless pickups, the best of both worlds IMO, I've had them in my #1 Strat for 11 years and have never wanted anything else
