NIHEYIt's a Lace Sensor PU!
Ladies and gentlemenLace Sensorhave you ever heard of a PU called "Lace Sensor"?
If you know Clapton or Jeff Beck, you may have heard of this PU, which has a distinctive appearance with no pole piece protruding.
Lace Senor isMicro Matric FoamThis PU is designed to provide low noise and sustain.
Clapton's Strat was equipped withFender Lace Sensor Goldwhich is a PU designed to resemble the sound of a 1950's Strat, but there are other PUs as well.RedandBlueand Blue models with different sound characters.
Lace for 10 years from 1986 to 1996.Fenderand was under contract to PU TopFender Lace SensorHowever, the label on the top of PUs made after 1996 is changed to "Lace Sensor" because Fender is no longer under contract with the company.
However, even though it is no longer under the Fender name, there is no change in the construction, so the same sound can be produced.
The reason why Fender adopted Lace Sensor is because Fender was looking for a low noise PU at that time, but also because Lace's founderDon LaceFender had been involved with Lace founder Don Lace since 1967, working with him as a consultant and improving the speaker design of Fender amplifiers.
This led to the development of the Lace Sensor.
Another person who was essential to Fender's use of Lace was the famous P.A.F. developerSeth Loverwho is also famous for the development of P.A.F.
Seth Lover has been with Fender since 1967,Wide Range Humbuckerand other products.
When Lace was experimenting with the Lace Sensor, the guitar on which the PU prototype was placed was the original guitar owned by Seth Lover!
Seth was so impressed with the PU that he decided to use Lace on his Fender guitar!
Of course, the performance of the PU is important, but it also makes me hot to think that the connection between people has something to do with it.
By the way, the thumbnail image is a model called Dually, which combines two Lace Sensors!
That was Nihei!
