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 while maintaining clarity and definition.
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 frames the inner core, shielding the pickup from outside noise and eliminating annoying 60-cycle hum.
- Lace Micro Combs: Patented replacements for traditional bobbins that provide a wider tonal range and superior string-to-string balance.
- Enhanced Sensing: Generates 36 sensing 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 punch.
Use Cases
- Middle Position Optimization: Ideal for the middle slot of a Stratocaster-style guitar to bridge the gap between the bright bridge and warm neck pickups.
- Vintage ’70s Tones: Perfect for players seeking the thicker, more compressed single-coil sound prevalent in 1970s recordings.
- High-Gain Environments: Because of the Radiant Field Barrier, these are excellent for players using high-gain amplifiers who want single-coil character without the associated hum.
- Balanced Rhythms: The improved string balance makes this an excellent choice for complex chordal work and rhythmic playing.
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 the integrated cover, ensure your pickup route is standard single-coil size. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper grounding and shielding of the wiring to maximize the noise-reduction capabilities of the Radiant Field Barrier.
