I have three American Standard Strats - one with Custom Shop Texas Specials, which I really like. It seems to have a bigger sound than the other Strats.

I was thinking of getting the Vintage Noiseless or Gen4 Noiseless pickup for one of them. How would you compare these two pickups to the Texas Specials?

Well OK, I'll bite!

The answer to your question is probably 'completely different'. I have TS's and in the past I've had Lace Sensors to compare, and they were definitely very different. The only stacked HB I currently use is the DiMarzio DP401, which I find nearest to a 90/00's pre-Fat 50 bridge p/up. IE: Lowish output.

But the TS is an overwound single-coil - nothing like the Lace or DiMarzio. Louder for a start. I don't know the construction of the modern Noiseless but it won't be much like a TS. Whether you'd like them, only you can say! Bear in mind that you can put exactly the same p/up set into different (allegedly identical) Strats, and they'll sound quite different, you'll see this is a bit of a minefield!

Cheers - Peter.
