Description
Overview
The Lace Sensor Red Pickup is the highest-output option in the renowned Sensor Series, engineered specifically for guitarists who demand the power and punch of a humbucker within the footprint of a single-coil pickup. Designed to deliver a “rocking” tone, the Red Sensor is the ideal choice for bridge positions where fat, aggressive output is required to drive an amplifier.
Unlike traditional pickups, the Lace Sensor utilizes a revolutionary design that replaces standard bobbins with patented Micro Combs. This architecture allows for a significantly wider tonal range and superior string-to-string balance, ensuring a consistent and complex harmonic response across the entire fretboard.
Key Details
- High-Output Performance: The hottest pickup in the Sensor line, providing the fat, punchy output typically associated with humbuckers.
- Radiant Field Barrier System: A unique shielding system that surrounds both the coil and magnets to drastically reduce 60-cycle hum and outside interference.
- Advanced Sensing Technology: While standard pickups rely on 4 to 12 magnetic poles, Lace Sensors generate 36 separate magnetic sensing fields, allowing for a more accurate “read” of string vibrations.
- Enhanced Signal-to-Noise Ratio: By reading a greater physical area of the string while blocking external noise, these pickups provide a phenomenal signal-to-noise ratio for a single-coil system.
- Complex Harmonic Response: The design captures a wider range of harmonic content, resulting in a more sophisticated and rich tonal character.
Use Cases
- Bridge Position Power: Perfect for the bridge slot of a Stratocaster or similar guitar when you need a heavy, saturated sound for rock, metal, or fusion.
- Humbucker Tone in Single-Coil Slots: Ideal for players who want the “fat” sound of a humbucker without the need to route their guitar body for a larger pickup.
- High-Gain Environments: Excellent for use with overdrive and distortion pedals where traditional single-coils would introduce too much noise or lack sufficient output.
Installation
The Lace Sensor Red is designed as a drop-in replacement for standard single-coil pickups. Installation involves removing the existing pickup and soldering the Lace Sensor leads to the volume/tone pots or pickup selector switch. Because of its high-output nature, it is recommended for the bridge position to balance the output levels across the instrument.
Compatibility
This pickup is compatible with electric guitars featuring standard single-coil routing and dimensions. It is specifically designed to fit guitars that utilize single-coil sized pickups, providing a humbucker-style output without requiring structural modifications to the instrument.
