Well... this takes in interesting turn due to GAS. I liked the noiseless aspect so much that I took out the SD and installed a set of Lace Sensor Blue/Silver/Red. I just finished the install minutes ago and will be testing them out. The good news is that they work and sound correct, so my wiring and soldering is ok. I've got the quack back, which is a plus, and they are a much better match cosmetically and fit-wise. (the SD was a tight fit). My strat is a little different, it is a Mexican FSR with direct mounted pickups (no pickguard), black body, maple neck/fretboard, and cream knobs and pickup covers. The SD JB was black and really broke up the look. The sensors are a cream set and match perfectly. I'll either sell/trade the SD, or just hang onto it for another project.
