Fender Vintage Noiseless Pickups Install
I went to install a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups in my 91 MIM Strat and the pickups and covers are too big to fit the stock holes in the stock pickguard. Bummer.
Just thought I'd pass this on before someone else takes apart their guitar. Maybe it isn't a problem with other years or models of Fender guitars.

More like Miller time.
I kept the Mexi the way it was but ended up putting in a Dimarzio FS1 in the bridge. That should be all right until I find something to put the Noiseless into. I'm not up to messing up the pick guard just yet.

I did eventually get the Vintage Noiseless into the pick guard on the Mexi Strat. It was tight but they went. I also ended up putting a 250k volume post in. I think they might be a bit more clear sounding with a 500k pot instead. I'll try the 500k in a couple of weeks to find out the difference.

Good tip LG, and Spud don't forget to tilt the pups level every so often with that tight fit.
