Description
Overview
The Lace Sensor Silver Pickup delivers a fat, ’70s-style single coil sound characterized by increased output and a pronounced midrange. Engineered to be the ultimate middle-position pickup, the Silver Sensor provides a thicker tonal profile than traditional single coils, making it ideal for players seeking a punchier, more robust voice without sacrificing clarity.
Unlike standard pickups that rely on a few magnetic poles, the Lace Sensor utilizes a sophisticated system of 36 separate magnetic sensing fields. This allows the pickup to read a greater physical area of the string, resulting in a more complex harmonic response and a phenomenal signal-to-noise ratio.
Key Details
- Radiant Field Barrier: A unique metal slide system that surrounds the coil and magnets to shield the pickup from outside noise and eliminate annoying 60-cycle hum.
- Lace Micro Combs: Patented replacement for traditional bobbins, providing a wider tonal range and superior string-to-string balance.
- Enhanced Sensing: Generates 36 separate magnetic fields (compared to the 4 to 12 found in standard pickups) for a more accurate and detailed reading of string vibrations.
- Tonal Profile: Specifically voiced for a “fat” vintage sound with boosted mids and higher output for increased presence in a mix.
Use Cases
- Middle Position Optimization: Perfectly suited as a center pickup in Strat-style guitars to bridge the gap between the brightness of the bridge and the warmth of the neck.
- Vintage ’70s Tones: Ideal for musicians recreating the thicker, more saturated single-coil sounds of the 1970s era.
- High-Gain Environments: Because of the Radiant Field Barrier, these pickups are excellent for players using high-gain amplifiers who need the character of a single coil without the associated hum.
Installation
The Lace Sensor Silver 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. Due to the unique construction and integrated shielding, these pickups provide a streamlined installation process that significantly reduces the need for additional cavity shielding to combat interference.
Compatibility
Designed for use in electric guitars requiring a single-coil form factor. While optimized for the middle position, it is compatible with bridge and neck positions depending on the desired tonal output. Detailed electronic compatibility (such as specific pot values) is not provided, but it is designed to integrate with standard guitar wiring schemes.
