Stays quiet so you can turn up loud.

The Fender Vintage Noiseless Tele Pickup Set is for those who have always hoped they could find a humbucker with the bite, snap and snarl of a '60s Tele pickup. Now Fender has made that dream a reality. Designed with Special Alnico V magnets and enamel-coated magnet wire, these innovative stacked Tele pickups are even quieter than standard humbuckers! The neck pickup has a nickel silver cover for added clarity while the bridge pickup produces the traditional Tele twang. Each pickup proudly displays the Noiseless logo for more of that classic Fender vibe.

• '60s Tele twang, snap, and snarl combined with humbucker quietness
• Special Alnico V magnets in a stacked configuration
• Enamel-coated magnet wire
• Neck pickup has nickel silver cover for added clarity
• Bridge pickup developed to produce traditional Tele tone

Great Pickups, great price

I bought these pickups for my Tele Thinline because it really hummed. I've been playing with them for 2 years now, so I figure I can write a good review. The PUPS aren't completely noiseless but they're a big step up from regular single coils. My one real complaint is that the low E string sounded really muddy when I first got the guitar back. But after moving the low string tree froward as far as possible, I solved this problem. As far as sound goes, these babies are sweet. They sound so much better than anything else I've ever heard. They can really scream, but they're also great for playing clean as well. They're great at high volumes and and are completely clean, no mud at all. I don't regret my decision to buy these PUPS. And, for $115 for the set, you cannot go wrong. If you're looking for a good set of Tele pickups, you have to go with the noiseless.

FrankenTele twang

I installed these in my FrankenTele (Warmoth neck etc.) and find them very good and quiet. The twang is there, but not as much as I would like. Sensitivity is good and warmth is excellent. My kid put them in with no problems. Get 'em from your local guitar shop and ask for a good deal.

Not long ago I installed some Fender noiseless pickups in my strat and loved them. I decided to make the upgrade to my 2007 MIM Tele. The stock pickups were ok but the neck pup was a little muddy and of course, there was the ever-present buzz. These Fender Vintage Noiseless Tele pickups are great. The Tele twang is there and the tones are very clear. However, I was spoiled with the ease of the strat upgrade. The Tele upgrade involves removing the bridge assembly that means you will have to set everything up again so it’s more time consuming. These pickups are very much worth the time and effort. If you’re looking for that classic Tele sound without the noise buy these.

Classic Tele Sound

I have a 2002 Standard Tele with a set of these instaled. Much better Tones with these ..much like the stock pick ups in my 1991 Standard Tele..those stock pickups are excelent with there stagered pole pieces. I wasn't inpressed with the stock pickups of the 2002 Tele, they are strong but I didn't care for sound while strumming. My buddies 2005 Tele is even worse..strong pickups with harsh tones. These noisless are very balanced..great Twang in the Bridge and beauftiful bell rings using both pickups. What a Tele should sound like.

I bought these to upgrade the stock pickups in my Squier Affinity Tele. I went with the Vintage Noiseless because I love the sound of my Dad's 2000 American Deluxe Tele and I wanted to come as close to that as possible without breaking the bank. Besides the pickups, I threw in a new Fender switch and some 250K pots and I couldn't be happier with the sound. They're great clean or dirty and they definitely make my Squier sound like a Tele should. The bridge pickup is twangy and crunchy and the neck pickup is silky smooth.

My only gripe is the ribbon on the bridge pickup was folded down, exposing the winding. No big deal-I just superglued it back in position but I did slightly ding the quality rating for it. I would recommend these pickups to anyone looking to upgrade a MIM or Squier Telecaster.
