Noiseless PUP's For Country Guitar

jwayne · November 10th, 2009, 05:47 PM

Looking to replace my NC set that I installd in my CV with some noiseless pickups. I've spent all day reading through the threads and have a good list of choices but wantet to try and find players who run noiseless pickups that play primarily country music.

I'm looking for what you think is the best noiseless pickup on a pinecaster for country playing. Thanks - JW

Guess I need this answered too. I have been recording for two days and I need something dead silent for sparser tracks. I cannot bury amp hiss and pickup noise on everything. thinking about ordering another CV that is all noiseless for purely recording purposes.

I've played a ton of country on Joe Barden Tele pickups for many, many years -- always worked for me.

Hope it helps, CS

Thinking of the clean, clear and somewhat compressed telecaster tones on some US 'country' music I've heard in the past, I think that the Fender Vintage Noiseless pickup set would work a treat.

Sometimes,depending on "this,that,and the other",you can get a Noisless signal
by pluging guitar cable into to the power amp in jack on the amp.I have the Fender
Hot Rod Deluxe amp and it works for me.Also sometimes,like when we're outside,I'll
use my Digi Tech RP250 guitar prosessor.It also works great if you don't overdo it.

I have considered the Fender Vintage Noiseless along with Kinman and Dimarzio Area T. Kinmans are expensive so I've really been considering the FVN or the Area T. What do you all think between the 3 - if you had to rank them for country goodness? Thanks - JW

I've used Fender Vint. Noiselsess, Lawrence 280 stacks, and Lawrence blade type.
They all work. For my money the Area T's were to colored. They were quiet but, just were not what I was looking for.
I have kept the Fender Noiseless and Lawrence PU's in and have worked with them extensively. Lots of my sounds are "country" based, in fact darn near all. The rest is classic rock and blues. FWIW.
Noise is useless.

Another vote for Fender Vintage Noiseless any others out there that would like to wage their opinion on this please?

So I did it. I purchased a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups from:
http://stores.ebay.com/Sigler-Music-Center
Paid 96 bucks shipped and should arrive by Monday. Now I need to figure out how to wire a 4 way switch and I'm good to go.
