Vintage '54 Strat Sound - Classic High Output Bridge Pickup
The Lace Holy Grail is the ultimate hum cancelling, vintage toned guitar pickup; the tone of a '54 Strat without all the noise or the crazy price tag. "Grails are the richest sounding pups I have heard. They sound so good both clean and distorted and they quack like nothing else I have ever heard. I'm going to put these on all my Strats." -Jet-Strat, FDP
Conventional stacked pickups sacrifice the high and low end, but the Holy Grail's patented break-through sidewinder design retains the depth and the sparkle that is the hallmark of vintage guitar tone. Pure Alnico 5 magnets combined with Lace technology delivers that classic tone you have been searching for.
