I started with a stock Highway One Tele.
The stock pickups were noisy and the pickguard made skritchy scratchy noises from the static. I corrected the pickguard but the pickups were still noisy. Think 60 cycle hum. I upgraded to the Fender vintage noiseless and found them to be quiet but nonreactive and without soul. Instead of changing course, I went to the Fender CS Samarium Cobalt Noiseless. They were the same but had more life in them but still no real Tele soul.
I changed to the Fender 51' Nocaster set and am happy as a clam.
Lively, vibrant, reactive and lots of Tele twang and soul.
I have some Keystones that will go into a new build and I bought them on recommendation from others here at TDPRI.COM.
Good luck to you.
