Description

Transform your guitar's sound with the Fender Lace Sensor Gold Single-coils—a set of pickups renowned for their pristine tone and cutting-edge technology. Born from the collaboration between Fender and Lace in 1985, these pickups have been a staple for musicians who crave that crisp top end and bell-like clarity reminiscent of early Fender single coils. If you're looking to elevate your music with less noise and more harmonics, these pickups are your golden ticket.

What sets the Lace Sensor Gold apart is its unique Radiant Field Barrier system, which remarkably diminishes the notorious 60-cycle hum. This system envelops both the coil and magnets, ensuring that your sound remains pure and undisturbed by outside interference. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, delivering a more expansive tonal range and superior string balance.

With 36 distinct magnetic sensing fields, the Lace Sensor Gold reads a broader physical area of the string than standard pickups, enhancing its signal-to-noise ratio. This results in a richer, more complex tonal response, making it a favorite among players who demand precision and clarity in their sound. Additionally, these pickups use low-energy magnets to minimize string dampening, offering increased sustain and true pitch retention.

Whether you're recording in the studio or playing live, the Lace Sensor Gold pickups offer a sophisticated blend of vintage charm and modern innovation, making them a must-have upgrade for any serious guitarist.

Key Features:

  • Includes 3-pack of single-coil pickups
  • Radiant Field Barrier system for reduced hum
  • Lace Micro Combs for wider tonal range
  • 36 separate magnetic sensing fields
  • Increased sustain with true pitch retention
  • Includes a 3" mini data CD with wiring diagrams and catalogs

In 1990 the axe gets a Roland GK-1 guitar synthesizer build in, the Velvet Hammer pickups stayed until 1995.
