Not noiseless nor vintage.
Those are Fender pickups. And as most Fender pickups they are not the best quality pickups you can buy.
The sad fact is they are not noiseless. There is a lot of ugly "broom" and hum coming from them.
They are also not vintage sounding. They sound lifeless, like a soap.
Resuming:
- if you need noiseless pickups, go Kinman, DiMarzio, Fishman.
- if you want vintage sounding, go real old Fender, DiMarzio, or Seymour (or even affordable Tonerider pure vintage)
I wanted to save some money buying this set, but ended paying twice.

You want that beefy unartifical traditional single coil tone wihtout hum noise?
Kellyplayer 28.11.2024
Older noiseless pickups were somehow not OK for me. They were alwasy sounding artifical. It wasn't a proper single coil sound it supposed to be on a stratocaster. When I use a guitar pickup that has no noise , it always also sweeps the juice of the tone and makes it lifeless.. It seems Fender finally achieved the treshold of creating a proper singlecoil sound with 'less' noise. These pickups has the character, vibe and tone of a proper stratocaster, they don't lack of bass, yet they dont have hum noise, they have great high end, which is not artifical anymore like older noiseless pickup versions. Good amount of mids to EQ around on your amp or pedal. I %100 believe any older tex-mex, hot-rod or pickup users will gonna like and approve this pickups. Whereas there's another version of this pickup, which has a higher output, may not be the first choice of a traditional stratocaster player IMO. It's not same as this one. Yes a little bit pricey, but it worths! Highly recomenned!
(PS) the pickups are deeper than the regular stratocaster pickups, You may need to do re-routing in your pickup cavities. So pay attention to the depth of your guitars body. My stratocasters body wood depth is 45cm and it was no issue )

Best Fender pickups
evetheory 13.09.2022
I know a lot of people are not 100% happy with Noiseless pickups but I think the 5th Gen / Ultra noiseless pickups are absolutely fantastic and dead quiet. They have a really crisp and clear voicing and sound phenomenal.
