surfergirl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Vintage noiseless pickups are down from $199. to $169. Now to $139. SW, GC, and MF are all sold, but have them on order. I think Fender may be fazing them out, decided not wait any longer. Quote Jenny S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyalcatraz Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Congrats! For future reference, though, there are other makers who offer such pickups. Options are always good to have. Yes, some of those would be pricier, but you rarely want to make purchases based primarily on rarity/availability. Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

surfergirl Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 I have them in my Deluxe Player. I've been wanting to put them in my Squier, but not at $199. I don't use the Squier except as a backup, so I don't want to put to much in it. I'd like to change the neck but not for $299. I don't think the guitar cost that much. Quote Jenny S.

Dannyalcatraz Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 A well-made guitar is a well-made guitar, regardless of price. There used to be a bluesman in the French Quarters whose #1 was a Squier and the amp it came with. That cheap guitar and amp put a roof over his head and bought him gear most of us could only drool over. So if your cheap little Squier is actually a hidden gem, it will ALWAYS be worth maintaining and/or upgrading. Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

KuruPrionz Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 These have very strong magnets, be careful when adjusting the pickup heights. If you get them too close to the strings you will experience intonation problems that cannot be overcome. As long as you don't raise them too close to the strings they should be great. They are nice sounding pickups and very low noise. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Good choice Surfer Girl. I have Fender Hot Noiseless Pickups on my American Standard Strat. Great tones in all 5 positions. Quote "Let me stand next to your fire!", Jimi Hendrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
