                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am not too worried about the "noiseless" part.  I was asking more about the overall tone and sound of the pickups.

My answer was in response to your question about overall tone - it had nothing to do with noise. If you have a crappy sound chain (cheap cables are a primary cause), no pup on earth is going to make it into your dream tone. If you have a dream sound chain, a new pup may improve it - it may destroy it (by swapping to a pup with significantly different output, for example). Nothing in your sound chain is totally independent of any other part - changing picks will change your sound, changing pick attack will change your sound, setting up your sound chain with old strings and then changing to new ones will affect your sound, so will a whole load of other things. A pickup is only one link in the chain.<br><br>Before going down the "new pickup" road, I'd strongly recommend taking the Forrok_Star Freeway and buying at least one equaliser.]]></content:encoded>

It might, it might not - much depends on the entire sound chain and whether the weakness in the chain is the Squier pup. You may get better results by tweaking your amp, buying better cables, getting a good guitar set-up or adjusting whatever else you have in your sound chain.

That's a really difficult question to answer. It might, it might not - much depends on the entire sound chain and whether the weakness in the chain is the Squier pup. You may get better results by tweaking your amp, buying better cables, getting a good guitar set-up or adjusting whatever else you have in your sound chain. <br><br>On the other hand, if the Squier pup is a total lemon, a new pup may seem like a whole new world.
