It's the Suhr system (I think it's called the Silent Single Coil system or something like that.) Check out www.acmeguitarworks.com - they sell the Suhr stuff. There is a backplate version of it that you can retrofit on your own single coil equipped guitar. I've heard great things about it - it's on my list of things to get this year. They sell for around $250 or so.

Thank you John, very very interesting.
By now it's on my list of things too. If you listen to what this does on his guitar, well... it's great without changing tone. The only problem I have is that on my strat with Voodoo PU I have reverse-wound reverse-polarity middle pickup and this system seems to work with three single-coils wound with the same polarity (no RWRP middle) so I'll have to change middle PU.
I called the Italy dealer and he explained me that there is a little circuit placed under the pickguard, with two trimmers. With them you can control the amount of anti-hum on your specs, and then you will not mind about it anymore.

Thanks again, John I ordered one from the site you suggested me: George Ellison is a very kindy person. I'm waiting, shipping will be delivered in 2 -3 weeks. I'll tell how it works when active on my strat.

News flash: That "Scott Henderson" guy is pretty good. Ok, now back to your regularly scheduled program...

On april SH will be here in Italy and I'm absolutely gonna watch him. Last year I went to a clinic he had here in Parma, I was surprized because he is a very kindy person, playin' his monster stuffs 1 mt from me!! I asked him a lot of things and he never went bored, he was glad of his 30 people audience's curiosity. Then at night he had a gig with his great trio and I definitely thought he was a monster player. And as often happens "the biggest are the simplest". (don't know american phrase, in Italy we speak so...)
