The noiseless are decent but a little sterile in my experience. I have them in my '05 Am. Tele Deluxe. Versatile and quiet and "fine." However the vintage pups in my buddy's mid-80s MIJ Tele sound considerably "better"—more guts, grit, and girth. (All good in Tele land.) Same friend has a mid-80s Am. Strat with Kinmans. VERY, very nice. I'd go with them or the Fralins, personally.

Best o' luck.

P.S. — As a previous poster (and fellow Bad Cat owner) said: It's really about the amp. My .02.
