Lace Sensor Red Pickup
Perfect for the bridge position when fat, punch humbucking output is required. A white pickup with an output range of 14.5k.
Lace Sensor family has a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing annoying 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, yielding a wider tonal range and better string balance than traditional pickups.
Music Styles: All Rock, Metal, Aggressive, Punk, and Pop

Sound: The hottest output of the Lace Sensor Series
The Sensor Story
Unlike ordinary electric guitar pickups that read string vibration from 6 magnetic poles, Lace Sensors generate 36 separate magnetic "sensing" fields which, in the areas where they contact the string, "read" the strings' vibration. (Regular guitar pickups only generate anywhere from 4 to 12 fields). Lace Sensors also have Radiant Field Barriers: metal slides that frame the inner core of the Sensor Pickup and perform two functions. The first is to shield the Sensor from outside noise and 60-cycle hum. The second is to produce a broader, yet more concentrated umbrella of a sensing field than that of standard magnetic pickups.
Less Noise, More Harmonics
As compared to standard pickups, Lace Sensors read a greater physical area of the string, while picking up less outside interference. This makes the signal-to-noise ratio nothing short of phenomenal for a single-coil system. Also, a wider range of harmonic content is read by the Sensor Pickup, delivering a more complex tonal response.
Increased Sustain, Truer Pitch
Since they operate so efficiently, Lace Sensors can utilize the much lower energy magnets than ordinary electric pickups, and this, in turn, brings about a whole new realm of properties. In regular pickups, the magnetic fields are so strong they physically dampen, or drag on, the strings' vibration, reducing sustain and actually changing the pitch. But in Lace Sensors, string dampening is virtually nonexistent. This means your sustain is increased dramatically while the string holds its true pitch for the duration of the note.
String clearance measurements for Fender Lace Guitar Pickups
For optimum tone and output from our Sensors, we recommend adjusting the height to .170" from string to pickup, or approximately the height of 2 dimes and a nickel.
(REMEMBER: String thickness applies to height; use the bottom of the string closest to the pickup for the measurement.)
