Are yopu sure the noise was being caused by the guitar and not something else like your amp or electrical grounding issues or something? Just wondering...Make sure the new pickups have the ground connected...

The SCN's are not your problem. installation. guitar, or etc. They are great pups, maybe not a good match with your guitar? Hope you find the problem! Good luck and take it to a good tech. :) 8)

Well, thanks to everybody for the help, I noticed that the noise is specially when I use overdrive or when in my computer I use some model of high gain amp with any software amp modeling, when the amp is in clean mode all it's fine very quiet without noise neither hum, it's normal the noise when the amp is in high gain or when I use overdrive o distortion ? how to identify electrical issue like a bad grounding?

must had I changed the volume pot when I changed the pickups ?

Again, thanks for yours answers.

I think its normal. With overdrive and high gain, there may be some background noise or hum that is noticed since the overdrive and/or gain is amplifying your signal a bit, and in addition to your signal being amplified, any noise that may be in the signal and unnoticed gets boosted to a level where its audible.
