I have a 2006 classic 70’s series Strat. It does not come with a RWRP middle pickup so I want to replace the pickups. I live in a noisy (60 cycle hum) house Will the vintage
Noiseless pickups fit my strat? If not others that may?
Thanks

Vintage Noiseless Fender's will fit just fine without modification. However, these pickups generally require pot values that are incompatible with your stock components.

An alternative to Fender's VN are the DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Noiseless. There are several models, they all sound great, *AND* they work beautifully with your stock pots.

another possibility is a set of fishman fluence pickups. I put a set on one of my strats, and love the sound. the battery pack is good for 300 hours, and fits in place of the trem plate. you can also pull up one of the tone pots for a little hotter sound. might be worth checking out.
