Welcome to the Forum.

Have a little patience, sometimes the person with the answer you want is not online.

Your questions don't give much info. Exactly what info are you looking for?

they dont hum or buzz and have a slightly mellower sound than stock strat pickups. I think their slightly overwound so when you lower the guitars volume you get back into strat territory

I am going to pickup a 97 MIA strat in a few days and the guy I'm buying it from has put in some Sumariums. From what I read, they are very good, not the best, but still very good. Listening to other people is always hit or miss, so you should come to your own conclusion. There are ALOT of reviews for them on harmony central.

I had the SCN's in my American Deluxe and always found them somewhat muddy and muted. I was always looking for a more traditional and bright Strat sound and when the neck pickup died (from what I have heard it's not all that uncommon to have issues with SCN's) I swapped them out for a custom made set from a local guy. Couldn't be happier with the "new" Strat sound I have.

I've said this before in other posts because I had them installed in a CS guitar I had built as a result of how they were touted when the American Deluxe's were marketed in '04. They were touted as being a step up from the Fender Noiseless, having been designed by a pickup guru as having a 'dimed' vintage tone without the hum.
