The Samarium Cobalt Noiseless series (SCN) is another line of replacement stacked electric guitar and bass pickups, designed by Bill Lawrence. Introduced in 2004, they are similar to the Vintage Noiseless pickups, but employ miniaturized samarium cobalt alloy magnets instead of Alnico 5. The SCN pickups were a standard equipment feature on the American Deluxe series from 2004 to 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word noiseless:
“The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
