How about the EMG active single coils? Vince Gill has them in his black strat with the tortoise shell pickguard as seen on the "Crossroads" DVD. He also has the EMG presence, fat knob on it. They look like interesting pickups and they also come loaded in the pickguard, if so desired. These should be noiseless.
