LaceSensor-Red Pickup Black

Ive heard great things about the lace sensor red, and always wanted to try them. Ive working on a single coil style triple humbucker super strat. I tried a seymour Duncan little 59' for the neck pickup (with a gilmour mini toggle switch), a seymour duncan hot rail for the middle, and the lace sensor red for my bridge. All wired with a series parallel blend push pull pot. This made for one the most versatile guitars ive ever played. It has the perfect mix of dark warm tones, bright punching twang, and and fuzzy distortion all in one. It was my first time using lace sensor and will not be my last.

🎸 I’m really glad I installed this p/u in my American Strat. I replaced a gold one in the bridge position. With any substantial distortion, the gold p/u was shrill and annoying. With the red one, I can play it through my distortion patches and it sounds great. It has guts where you need it.🎶 The catch? With light distortion, or clean tones, IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE A STRAT. I didn’t lose the single coil tone, it’s just a little beefier, but still hollow in the right places. It sounds fine mixed with the middle gold lace. It doesn’t sound like a humbucker at these clean/lite distortion levels, but you might have to roll back the guitar’s volume a smidge, to turn down the heat a little bit.🎵 Conclusion: I just radically increased the versatility of my Strat. If you play in a cover band, you might be able to play the whole night with just one guitar, and leave your humbucker guitar at home.

I have been using a Blue/Silver/Gold setup on my '96 Strat since I bought it. I really loved that setup with the single exception that the Gold in the bridge position was a little thin. It did generate a fantastic 50s twang, but wasn't ideal for what I wanted it for - rock/blues solos. The Lace Sensor Gold was too thin, not many harmonics, no bottom end, etc.The Lace Sensor Red turned out to be a perfect replacement. It is the complete inverse of the Gold - thick tone (although surprisingly mid heavy), still fairly bright but much more balanced, very strong harmonics, high output, virtually silent - ideal for everything I needed it for. Will break up even on a clean channel with a strong attack. Sustain for days (depending on guitar and guitarist, of course), and very smooth tone. Highly recommended as a bridge pickup for all Strat-style guitars.

Works fine, it's noiseless but not as much gain as I expected. They say close to humbucker gain but it's not so close. Getting more harmonics from this one than the "purple" one I had before.Also, not exactly the kind of sound (EQ wise) I was expecting, hard to explain this... but hey, your ears may like what you will get from it.I have other Lace Sensors pickups that I really like though but "red" is not my preferred one although I have decided to keep it installed ... for now at least...

Used this pickup to mod a Squier Bronco bass and it makes the little Bronco sing! Very happy with the product.

but i was able to open it up and fix it, the solder was broken off. It sounds very clear and is pretty cool on my new acrylic guitar that im making really nice.

Nice

awesome

It's a really good pickup, great sound with a good volume. The only thing I didn't like was the shipping fee, I've paid twice, one in the buy and the other, when I received in my home...
