Hi Guys ! My name is Charles. I recently bought a pair of fender noiseless pickups for my telecaster ( http://www.fender.com/es-AR/products/search.php/?partno=0992116000 ) and I had some issues.

The pickups appear to be installed correctly and there were no soldering problems but Im experiencing some problems with the bridge pickup. It sounds low and lacks presence. Theres a huge difference in volume between the neck pickup and the bridge pickup. I hope it isnt in bad shape..
Can anyone be so kind to send me an schematic to check everything is soldered were its supposed to?
and the pickups data sheet to check if theres any problem with the coils. If any of you have any thoughts on this please tell me.

Thank you !!

Welcome.

See here, the second post down:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=58032

As I've said many times, the Vintage Noiseless pickups are most frail by design. It would not be beyond the realm of possibility that you could in fact, have a bad bridge pickup.

Hello, all. My name is Zeno. I recently purchased and installed a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless Telecaster Pickups in my newly acquired Japanese '62 Custom reissue. I seem to be having the same problem as recently posted with Low volume and almost no presence in the bridge pickup. I also have a 60-cycle hum that occurs when the p/u selector switch is in the bride p/u position and goes away when I touch the bridge or control plate. Everything is wired exactly as the diagram included with the pickups shows. I wanted to find out if this is a common problem with these pickups. I had previously installed the very same set (although in older packaging) in my 2001 American Standard Tele and they work fine. The reply to a previous post stated that these were pretty frail as far as pickups go. I'm just a little frustrated, having installed & uninstalled these pickups a few times to try to track down this problem. If the bridge pickup is in fact defective, will it be replaced by Fender/Guitar Center (where it was purchased)?

Welcome.

They should. You should contact Fender/Guitar Center directly for their response.
