Since these pickups aren't hum-cancelling, does anyone get really bad buzz? obviously there will be some but sometimes those 2 and 4 spots can be my refuge. Also, would copper shielding the guitar make a big difference?
Thanks

I have a set of them in an unshielded Classic Player's strat, and to me they don't make that much of a buzz. Which guitar do you have them in?

proper copper shielding will remove most of if not all of the buzz.

The body is a highway and I got the pickups off ebay last night! They're an oder set (86' I think) and my friends installing them... What is the proper way to shield. Do you have to do any soldering or do you just mean I need to do a clean job in all the cavities?

You just got them last night. So you don't actually have them in a guitar yet? Don't worry about really bad buzz until you have them in your guitar!

I have an old set of those '57/'62 pups in one of my strats. I love them. They don't have any more (or less) noise than any other vintage-style single coil.

Of course, excessive noise/buzzing mostly comes from your environment's stray electrical noise. Do your current single coils have really bad buzzing where you usually play? If so, these will too.
