I replaced my stock fender pickups with the Fender Vintage Noiseless. They have been accused of being "toneless". I was not happy with them at first, but after a few months of regular playing I started to notice them warming up and taking on a much more traditional strat like tone. Now its been a couple of years and I'm pleased as punch with the sound, plus they are dead quiet.
Had I to do it over again, I might try another vendor's noiseless pickups. I should have had to wait for mine to "open up".
If you're going to do any recording with the strat, noiseless pickups are a real blessing...that is, unless your music is so dense or loud that the noise is mitigated.
