The Chrome Domes™ have been praised for both their "sweet, rounded tones" and simultaneously described as sounding like "a Strat on steroids." This was accomplished by modifying a pickup already known for its bell-like tone and rich history, the original Gold Sensor.

Lace took the Gold, a long time favourite of such artists as Eric Clapton, and "slammed and crammed" it with "hotter magnets" and reverse wound the middle pickup then wrapped the pickups in chrome plated heavy brass.

Lace specifically upgraded it and did some very direct tweaking with the coil, so it gives a sweeter, more rounded tone but with a lot more punch. This turbo-charging, results in sweet highs that don't pierce and solid lows that don't boom and a lot of power. If there was ever a hot-rod vintage Lace Sensor, this is the one.
