Fender HOT SCN pickups

[DocNrock]

We all know that Fender has the SCN pickups and the hot noiseless pickups, and that they are for resale, but recently I discovered they have the HOT SCN pickups which I have NOT been able to find for resale.  Their application is for the middle and neck spots when a hot humbucker is in the bridge.

That said, does anyone have any experience with these, and if so, do you know of any noiseless single coil or single coil sized humbuckers which sound similarly?  The reason that I ask is that they come in the new Jackson Adrian Smith sig Strat.  It has a DiMarzio Super D in the bridge and hot SCN's in the middle and bridge position.  I'm planning to build my interpretation of the guitar, but I need to find similar sounding pups.

If you can help, thanks!

Well, I know that Bill Lawrence was the force behind Fender using new materials in their pickups, leading to the SCN pickups.  He has a line of noise free pickups here.  To get them to behave like the ones you mentioned, I would call him.  The guy will probably know what they are and build you some.

If you get him on the phone be prepared to spend the afternoon talking to him.

He goes off into stuff about pickups an MIT engineer wouldn't understand.

He and his pickups are remarkable.
