Description
Overview
The Lace Sensor Gold Loaded Pickguard is a complete, high-performance electronics upgrade designed to bring the classic, bell-like chime of early Fender single-coil pickups into the modern era. By combining vintage-inspired tonal characteristics with cutting-edge noise-reduction technology, this pre-wired system eliminates the frustrating 60-cycle hum typically associated with single-coil pickups without sacrificing the crisp top end and harmonic complexity that guitarists crave.
Key Details
- Gold Sensor Technology: Specifically engineered to duplicate the legendary tone of early single coils, delivering a bright, clear, and articulate sound.
- Radiant Field Barrier: A unique system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, significantly reducing outside interference and 60-cycle hum for a phenomenal signal-to-noise ratio.
- Patented Micro Combs: These replace traditional bobbins to provide a wider tonal range and superior string-to-string balance.
- Enhanced Sustain: By utilizing lower energy magnets, these sensors eliminate the “magnetic drag” found in standard pickups, allowing strings to vibrate more freely and maintain their true pitch longer.
- Premium Components: The pickguard comes fully loaded with high-quality 250k full-size pots, a USA-made switch, and NTS capacitors.
Use Cases
- Studio Recording: Ideal for players who need the classic “Strat” sound but require a silent signal path to avoid noise floor issues in high-gain or sensitive recording environments.
- Live Performance: Perfect for guitarists playing under heavy stage lighting or near electronic equipment where traditional single coils would typically buzz.
- Vintage Restoration: An excellent choice for upgrading a vintage-style guitar to achieve a “best of both worlds” scenario: classic 1950s tone with modern reliability.
Installation
This is a “drop-in” solution designed for maximum convenience. The electronics are pre-wired and mounted on a professional 3-ply white pickguard. Installation requires minimal effort, as the system is designed to connect to your guitar’s output jack using only two wires. The package includes all necessary knobs and a switch knob to complete the aesthetic and functional setup.
