Daniel Sorbera Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Depends on what you want it to sound like. The noiseless are pretty versatile from what I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Also, what are you replacing? What's the minimum/maximum you're willing to spend? Again, what sound are you looking for? I've found a great bang:buck ratio in Tonerider. I have one set already and another on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I can't handle single-coil noise anymore. Some people don't mind it and others can tolerate it in the name of "tone," but I will never buy a standard single-coil ever again. If I were making the decision, I would start by eliminating the vintage and "true" single-coils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr_XD Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 i'm after a stratocaster sound. i've heard the ssl1 sounds on the web and don't know to what extent they will sound like that on my guitar, but i like the sounds. I'm replacing the pickups on a fernandes stratocaster. i really like the tone of the neck and middle, i can't stand the bridge one. On the other side i think they are microphonic, as soon as i turn on a distortion that is over a crunch, the start to scream (i can't remember the word in english sorry). So it's not i'm really seeking a tone, just mending my fernandes. I will also throw some schaller locking tuners on it and a graph nut What's the minimum/maximum you're willing to spend? it's not about money really, i'm placing an order on thomann.de on monday and i'm limited to their stock. These looked as the most interesting options for me. thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Bert Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'm a big fan of Lace products myself. To me they are very clean and the least noisey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Traditional noisy single-coils, then. Oh well, at least I tried. (3 different emoticons on one line!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Curtis Novak, especially the 63 Strat Repair. Tell him I sent you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
