ultra noiseless™ pickups were introduced on the fender ultra stratocaster, ultra jazzmaster, and ultra telecaster in 2019. the ultra noiseless pickups are a complete redesign over the gen 4 noiseless pickups, including different magnets and staggered pole pieces. the stratocaster pickup covers are identical to the earlier gen 4 noiseless pickups except that the lettering is gold, not silver. ultra noiseless™ pickups come in two versions. the ultra noiseless™ vintage pickups come standard on the ultra telecaster, and are said to deliver "authentic fender single-coil sound without hum." ultra noiseless™ hot pickups are standard on the ultra stratocaster, and are said to offer modern performance and classic tone so the user can launch their amp into overdrive. these pickups are not currently sold separately by fender.
