Tällaista oli vuosi sitten Frankun messujen alla Fenderin osalta ilmoitettu:
 
FRANKFURT MUSIKMESSE 2010: Fender's all-new 2010 American Deluxe series looks set to be one of the major announcements of the show.
 
"The most significant upgrade across the range comes in the shape of Fender's new N3 Noiseless pickups."
 
"Using an improved stacked-coil design, N3 Noiseless pickups are specially tailored for each Stratocaster and Telecaster pickup position... The insulated metal core of each pickup position type differs in thickness and composition for enhanced tone, and Fender has fine-tuned the size, shape and wire gauge of the coils to balance the magnetic responsiveness essential to great tone."
 
"Further, N3 Noiseless pickups represent a welcome return to the warmth and clarity of alnico magnets. Again, the type of alnico magnets used is tailored to pickup position Alnico V for the power and warmth of the Stratocaster N3 bridge pickup and the signature snap and spank of both Telecaster pickups; Alnico II for the sweetness and sparkle of the Stratocaster N3 middle pickup; Alnico III for the fullness of the Stratocaster N3 neck pickup without undue magnetic string pull."
 
Ja eräs kirjoittaja perään maininnut:
"Now we know what N3 means: 3 type of alnico magnets! II, III and V."

Eli nopeasti voisi todeta, että Samarium Cobalt -mikkeihin eroa on ainakin magneettien materiaali, joissa N3:n kohdalla on palattu perinteisempään AlNiCo-magneettiin.
