Hello Crippa, my advice if you want noiseless pickups would be to fit a set of Kinmans. Check out the website www.kinman.com for further info. They're a bit more expensive than the fenders but far superior in my opinion. Some people can't see any further than the name on the headstock, or in this case the name on the pickup cover. It's a strat so it's got to have fender pickups right? Well no, not if there's a better option. I've got a set of Traditional Mk2's fitted to both my strats and couldn't be happier with them. Not only are they noiseless but the improvement in sound quality is clearly noticeable. Also look on harmony central and compare the reviews of the Fenders and the Kinmans. The Kinmans clearly come out on top. If you can afford them give them serious consideration. Hope this is of help.

Kinman's sound good. Fender'd Vintage Noiseless sound good. My EMG SV's sound good (okay, I'm partial: they sound really good). SCN's sound good.

It's really much more about how you play than what you buy.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go lift the needle on my broken record....

Kinmans all the way, I have the Blues set in my Strat and Broadcasters in my Tele. Had SCN's and played them for quite a while but they just seemed a bit lifeless. After switching to the Kinman's, my guitars really came to life, I will never go back. I looked at Dimarzio Virtual Vintage, Bill Lawrence, Seymour Duncan and Lindy Fralin but the Kinman's were the cream of the crop for me. Great tone and noiseless!
