Members stormin1155 Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I stuck a pair in a Squier strat I had a number of years ago and really didn't care for them any more than the stock pickups... quieter, but the tone wasn't anything inspiring.

Members tp4mybunghol Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Haven't had much experience personally. But I do prefer Clapton playing the Lace sensors over the vintage noiseless he's playing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jan Deal Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I really like them, I fitted a blue, white and red into my Jap '57 reissue Strat and they sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xStonr Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I recently installed a set of Hot Golds in my Strat. I'm still undecided. It's not love or hate. Maybe indifference right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RooSTER-b Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 i don't like them for a completely stupid and superficial reason.......I hate the way they look. I just don't like pickups without pole pieces (EMG's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HELSTRUME Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I hear the drop gain are killer. I would like to hear them, and the reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members firejack018 Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I hear the drop gain are killer. I would like to hear them, and the reds. I've got a set of Drop N Gains and a Hot Gold being installed in my Godin Freeway SA as we speak.Installation should be complete in a week or two. Can't wait!

Members Karma1 Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm a big fan. I've experimented with a number of pickups in my Strat and I've been using the Lace Sensors for many years now - silver/neck, gold/middle, blue/bridge. I had a red in the bridge for a while but didn't care for it - too edgy for my taste. Although the blue is more commonly used in the neck, it works great in the bridge and is warm and smooth, with plenty of punch. I also have a Lace Sensor gold in the neck of my Tele Thinline which sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Invader.CC Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 The first fender i ever played was a Strat Ultra with Lace sensors sorry don't know the colors but it's what got me thinking about owning a strat some 15 years ago 3 months ago i bought one switched the humbucker to lace RED/Silver and i love it.

Members vikingrat Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Love. They came stock in my Beck and i put them in my Malmsteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 For me back in the late 90's I used the Lace Gold and Silver on one of my Strats [second Lonestar]. They were Great for back then. Hell they are still good today. But I'd venture to say that some very very good single-coils have been made since the late 90's. I'd still use them for the right price under the right circumstance's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireproof777 Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Overall, I like them. Had an Ibanez RG with Hot Golds wound as humbuckers in it (don't ask) and it was interesting, but much better as single coils in a Strat-type guitar.

Members Yavin Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 LOVE. American Deluxe Plus with Red/Silver/Blue. Very versatile guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Patuney Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hate! My 90 Stat Ultra came with the BSRR combo and I could never bond with the sterility of the sound. Put in some SNCs and am much happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bdegrande Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 i don't like them for a completely stupid and superficial reason.......I hate the way they look. I just don't like pickups without pole pieces (EMG's) Lace makes covers with fake pole pieces for just this reason. They also have conventional looking pickups like the Holy Grails. Anyway, I like them all except the red, which has always sounded brittle to me. People that find them sterile usually don't realize how close to the strings you can adjust them because of the limited magnetic pull. This really opens up the sound.
