Description
Overview
The Lace Sensor Gold is a precision-engineered pickup designed to replicate the iconic ’50s-style single coil sound. Renowned for its classic bell-like tone and crisp highs, the Gold sensor provides a well-rounded sonic profile that excels in any guitar position. By combining vintage aesthetics with modern electromagnetic technology, it delivers the timeless clarity of a traditional single coil without the associated noise issues.
Key Details
- Radiant Field Barrier System: A unique shielding system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, significantly reducing 60-cycle hum and outside interference.
- Lace Micro Combs: Patented replacement for traditional bobbins, resulting in a wider tonal range and superior string-to-string balance.
- Advanced Sensing Fields: Unlike standard pickups that rely on 6 magnetic poles, the Gold sensor generates 36 separate magnetic sensing fields to read string vibrations more accurately.
- Enhanced Harmonic Response: By reading a greater physical area of the string, the sensor captures a more complex range of harmonic content for a richer tonal response.
- High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: The combination of the Radiant Field Barrier and concentrated sensing fields ensures a phenomenal signal-to-noise ratio for a single coil system.
Use Cases
The Lace Sensor Gold is highly versatile and ideal for musicians seeking a vintage voice with modern reliability. It is particularly effective for the following styles and inspirations:
- Music Styles: Vintage Rock, Blues, Country, R&B, Indie, and Funk.
- Tonal Inspiration: Perfect for achieving the signature sounds of artists such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, and Built to Spill.
- Placement: Its balanced response makes it an excellent choice for bridge, middle, or neck positions.
Installation
The Lace Sensor Gold is designed as a direct replacement for standard single coil pickups. Installation involves removing the existing pickup and routing the Lace Sensor into the cavity. Because of the integrated Radiant Field Barrier, users can expect a significant reduction in hum immediately upon installation without requiring additional external shielding of the guitar cavity.
Compatibility
Designed for electric guitars utilizing single coil configurations. Specifically engineered to duplicate the characteristics of early Fender single coil pickups.
