Lace Sensor Hot Gold Loaded Pickguard with S1 Switching System CTS Pots, Treble Bleed and More!!
The wiring works like this: When not using the S1 'push-tone'; it is like a standard Stratocastor. When the S1 is (pushed and) on, you have to bridge it to get three different humbucker sounds (extremely useful), you get two more sounds, as well as bridge, neck and middle, or bridge and neck - essentially very Telecaster like sounds.
The humbucker sounds are glorious; extremely musical and dynamic. In addition, the middle tone acts as a master tone for all three pickups when the S1 is not active. When the S is active, the bottom tone acts as a master tone for the sounds on this setting. This provides a tremendous amount of flexibility and useful sounds. The Hot Gold version is considered one of the best and is the best of the Lace Sensors.
Together with the additional sounds, your guitar will become a killer sound machine!!
To build a scratchplate like this done professionally (as with this one - you can see from the images - more to come!); just the parts will cost you well over £300. . .three Lace Sensors set £170, S1 switching £30, Super Switch £25, plus CTS Capacitor; you are already looking at well over £250 without the scratchplate and the work. I have got this wiring and pickups setup on too many guitars so am letting you enjoy one. You will be astounded how great and useful the sounds are. From jazz to pop to rock to metal . . .
Product Description:
It's not just a dual coil trying to emulate a single-coil. This is a true single-coil and it's the quiet, noise reduced Sensor design! This revised and enhanced new Lace sensor Hot Gold has slightly stronger output. They retain all the definition of the regular Gold Lace Sensors but add a firm bottom and singing mid range. Excellent from clean to vintage growl.
These Lace Sensor Hot Gold's have a fat, full bottom end, a singing midrange and all the high end sparkle and class you would expect from a killer Strat. Hear presence like never before. Three-notes into these guitar pickups and you'll hear the difference.
The Tech Talk:
Upgraded hotter barium ferrite magnets, Patented Lace Micro Matrix Combs for killer vintage tone, available with an optional Hot Bridge 13.2K for more power and cut for harder rockin' and searing solos. Or the Standard Set all 6.0K's for neck, middle and bridge for that traditional Stratocaster vibe.
