I recently put BL Keystones in a tele partscaster with a ferrous ashtray bridge and they sound fantastic (photos in my gallary). Not noiseless but much quieter than any other true single coil I have ever used. No feedback problems even when playing with high gain and high volume, and lots of tele sparkle and snap. I also put a chrome cover on the Keystone neck pickup and it still sounds snappy, and is less likely to be damaged. FYI--GFS sells a vintage looking ashtray bridge with three brass barrels that has a non-ferrous plate portion made from aluminum, for about $20. That may be an easy/cheap solution for people with vintage style ashtrays and the BL/bridge/feedback issues discussed above.
