Noiseless pickups are humbuckers but mistaken as single-coils because they fit into the single-coil slot on a guitar’s body cavity. Interestingly, there is no such thing as ‘Noiseless single-coils pickups,’ because any pickup consisting of a stacked design is essentially a humbucker.
#Fender jaguar single coil vs humbucker series
Since then, they have provided many generations of their Noiseless Pickups on a long series of Fender models.ĭespite them commonly being confused as single-coils (which I did at first), Fender attempts to remove confusion by not branding them as ‘coils’ of any sort, hence using the simple term “Noiseless pickups.” Brief Historyįender first introduced their Noiseless Pickups series in 1998. I will go into more detail in a second of their design and how these pickups work.īut essentially, Fender stacks an extra pickup into one regular-sized single-coil compartment, which helps decrease hum, buzz, and unwanted noise. The benefit however is they produce less buzz, hum and, interference.Īnd how are they quieter exactly? Well, Fender introduced an intuitive ‘stacked’ design on their typical single-coil blueprint.
When it comes to tone, you can think of the Noiseless pickup tone as less articulate versions of regular single-coils. That function reduces hum and noise (like a humbucker) while preserving the familiar thin, and bright single-coil tone. Despite their appearance, Fender Noiseless pickups are not classed as single-coils but are actually humbuckers.Īlthough they look like single-coils and sound more like single-coils, they function more similar to humbuckers.
