The Fender Noiseless™ series is a line of electric guitar pickups made by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation designed to cancel 60 cycle (Hz) hum noise. Introduced in 1998, these single coil-sized pickups actually consists of a pair of single coils stacked one on top of the other, compacted so as to fit into the same size width space as a traditional Fender single coil guitar pickup. The upper coil is actually the sound source, while the lower one is responsible for the 60-cycle hum attenuation. Alnico V magnetic bars span from one coil to the other, crossing a soft ferrous steel spacer plate that isolates them, without touching it. The spacer plate has mainly two functions: to isolate the lower coil from the vibrations of the string, making sure that the sound is picked up only fr

  • The Fender Noiseless™ series is a line of electric guitar pickups made by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation designed to cancel 60 cycle (Hz) hum noise. Introduced in 1998, these single coil-sized pickups actually consists of a pair of single coils stacked one on top of the other, compacted so as to fit into the same size width space as a traditional Fender single coil guitar pickup. The upper coil is actually the sound source, while the lower one is responsible for the 60-cycle hum attenuation. Alnico V magnetic bars span from one coil to the other, crossing a soft ferrous steel spacer plate that isolates them, without touching it. The spacer plate has mainly two functions: to isolate the lower coil from the vibrations of the string, making sure that the sound is picked up only from the upper one, and to increase the magnetic flux that passed through both coils, increasing the output of the pickup. This is to be contrasted with the original noise canceling pickup, the Humbucker, which is a double-wide, horizontally adjacent pair of single coil pickups with opposing phase. The series includes models for electric guitars and bass guitars. (en)
