After 30 years of the legendary Lace Sensor Gold™, the wait for the traditional "Vintage" look of the world famous pickup is now over. The exact same Lace Sensor® patented technology is still internally the same, we have just added the "pole top" cover and have inserted a specially designed "aluminium pole plate" to give the impression of the magnetic poles. Same sensational sound, now with the Vintage look.

The 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.

Unlike ordinary pickups, the Lace Sensor® generate 36 separate magnetic "sensing" fields which, in the areas where they contact the string, "read" the strings vibration where as regular pickups only generate anywhere from 4 to 12 fields.

Lace Sensors® also have Radiant Field Barriers: metal slides which frame the inner core of the Sensors and perform two function. The first is to shield the Sensor from the outside noise and 60 cycle hum. The second is to produce a broader yet more concentrated umbrella of sensing field than standard magnetic pickups.

Less Noise, More Harmonics:
As compared to standard pickups, 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, delivering a more complex tonal response.

Increased Sustain, Truer Pitch:
Since they operate so efficiently, the Lace Sensor® can utilize the much lower energy magnets than ordinary 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, thus reducing sustain and actually changing the pitch. But in the Lace Sensor, 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.

"V" Series - Gold Sensor: A classic 50's Style single coil sound with a classy bell.
