Does Fender's noiseless pickup keeps that strat sound and is great for blues, country, rock and funk?

Are you talking about Vintage Noiseless, SCN, N3 or Gen4?

In my experience they all have the strat sound intact, I think they all sound good.

I just wish Fender still made black covers for them.

The standard covers will physically fit the Hot noiseless, though they don't go all the way down to the ears.
It will work on the bridge, but the pole spacing on the middle and neck is slightly narrower and the holes don't line up.
CAREFUL work with a Dremel or file can open the holes for a fairly clean fit if using black covers, but no good if you want to go from the stock aged to a pure white.
But there is still about a 1/8"-3/16" space between the tab on the cover and the base of the pickup.

Anyone have a set of "NOS" black Noiseless covers they want to sell?
