I can't say for sure, but there is a chance that they won't fit. This is because the noiseless pickups, being stacked coils, are a bit taller than standard pickups. And the mostly Asian-made Squier guitar bodies tend to skimp on dimensions anyway. So the pickup cavities are more likely to be not as deep as a USA body might be. So that could be a problem for you.

Lace Sensors are always a safe and good sounding option. I'm not as familiar with their Tele pups as I am with their Strat pups, but you can check out their website...

I'm actually planning on doing this soon on my Squier Telecaster, so I'll tell you if it all fits.

Keep me posted, too. I plan on doing this to one I just ordered from GC. DiMarzio makes "Little '57" HB that fits the angled single coil hole in the Tele bridge. Anybody use these?
