If there are noiseless single coils now why don't guitar manufactories just make only noiseless single coils or stack pickups?

Guitar companies make what people want.

And not everyone wants noiseless pickups due to certain trade-offs and compromises in tone, whether real or perceived.

There's nothing at all wrong with a Gibson guitar. Orville was building them long before Leo's momma and poppa got off the boat at Ellis Island.

I like Gibson guitar and I have few, but Orvil have nothing to do with Gibson guitars we know , ( Les Paul , ES 335 ......in the 50 /60 area)

It is all Ted McCarthy, who built , with help , all great Gibson Guitar we know. Orvil sell the bussiness in early or mid 1900 and only built acoustic guitars .

...because there aren't. All noiseless pickups are humbuckers that are usually of some variation of a stacked coil design. They look like single-coils, they sound kinda-sorta like single-coils (some do a very good job IMO) but they aren't.

I played a mim deluxe strat with noiseless Pups. I was all ready to put noiseless in my own strat, but after playing the deluxe I thought the pups were lifeless, bland and boring. I'd rather have the std mim pups I have, and they're not exactly amazing.

SCN's; N3's; VN's....each, in its time, was touted as the best thing since sliced bread to achieve that classic Fender tone. :roll:

Picky, picky. You can please some of the people some of the time. You can please some of the people, all of the time. You can't please all of the people all of the time. :wink: [I have them in two of my guitars. Suppose I should have remembered]

Lace Sensors aren't specifically noiseless, they're just a lot less noisy. I love the Sensor Golds on my '95 Strat Plus.
