Noiseless Strat Pickups

[Dickie Blues]

Hey y'all, I really want noiseless pickups for my strat build. Been hearing incredible things about dimarzio area pickups, just can't find any sound samples anywhere. I was wondering if anybody has any experience or can help me decide? I play worship for church, pop, gospel, r&b, blues, indie type stuff. Not sure which ones to get. And yes, I know they aren't "real" single coils!

I have Zexcoils in a couple of guitars including the Strat I built last year, have been very happy with them. I tried the Fralin noiseless rails in a Tele, and liked the except there was a slight volume jump between the D and G strings that I could not solve with pickup height, action, etc., so on that guitar, I ended up with a Wilde L280TN in the neck and a Fender 4th generation noiseless Tele in the bridge, and am quite happy with that combo. I’ve been intrigued by the DiMarzio Areas but have never tried them.

Kinman are pretty fabulous, but compared to many newer options they are not cheap - and it's a bit of an adventure ordering on their antique website. Still my personal go-to 'noiseless single coil' if I am not using EMG actives, and I've been firmly in the "noiseless pickups" camp since 1979...
