It worked superbly. Some say they slightly alter the tone - I'm not convinced it did.
Put it this way - if noise really bothers you on a Strat, it's the best solution currently available in my opinion.

If there is a difference, it's really minimal. As I said in my earlier post - I'm unconvinced it was any different at all. The guitar retained a very clear high end and a very 'open' mid-range - in other words, the characteristics you'd expect from a vintage style Strat.

I have a set of oil city's in my American deluxe strat, played on stage with loads of light and probably acdc levels of gain and no real amount of hum.
Good single coils and a good amp along with good quality cables and it shouldn't be a massive issue unless you have silly amounts of gain
