Overview
The Lace Sensor Blue/Silver/Red SSS Loaded Pickguard is a comprehensive tonal upgrade designed to transform your Strat-style guitar into a versatile sonic powerhouse. This pre-wired assembly allows you to navigate a vast ocean of tones, from vintage warmth to high-output punch, without the need for individual component sourcing. Each unit is signed and numbered, ensuring a level of authenticity and quality control for the discerning musician.
Key Details
This loaded pickguard features a strategic combination of three distinct Lace Sensor pickups, each engineered to excel in a specific position for a balanced and powerful output across the entire fretboard:
- Bridge Position (Red Sensor): The hottest output in the Sensor Series. It delivers fat, punchy humbucking power, making it ideal for heavy riffs and lead work where maximum drive is required (14.5k).
- Middle Position (Silver Sensor): Designed to produce a fat ’70s single-coil sound. It features increased output and enhanced midrange, serving as the ultimate middle-position anchor (7.1k).
- Neck Position (Blue Sensor): Provides a warmer ’50s humbucking sound within a single-coil configuration. It offers slightly increased output for smooth, rich tones (12.8k).
Use Cases
Because of the wide dynamic range provided by the Blue, Silver, and Red combination, this set is suitable for virtually any musical genre. Real-world applications include:
- High-Gain Rock & Metal: Utilize the Red Sensor in the bridge for a thick, humbucker-like saturation that cuts through a dense mix.
- Blues & Jazz: Switch to the Blue Sensor in the neck for a warm, soulful voice reminiscent of classic ’50s recordings.
- Funk & Country: Leverage the Silver Sensor’s midrange punch for rhythmic “quack” and clarity in the middle position.
- Genre-Bending: Perfect for players who move between the styles of Billy Corgan and Scotty Moore, or Sinatra and Slayer, within a single set.
Installation
This is a “drop-in” solution designed for ease of setup. To install:
- Removal: Remove the existing pickguard and electronics from your Strat-style guitar.
- Placement: Align the 3-ply white pickguard with the existing screw holes on your guitar body.
- Wiring: Connect the pre-wired harness to your output jack and ground.
- Finalization: Secure the pickguard with screws and you are ready to play right out of the box.
Compatibility
This product is designed specifically for Strat-style guitars. Please verify that your instrument follows standard Stratocaster pickguard dimensions and screw hole placements to ensure a proper fit. The 3-ply white construction is a standard aesthetic match for most classic guitar finishes.
