Lace Sensor Silver
(also available in RWRP REVERSE WOUND)
Tone / Character:
-
The Silver Sensor delivers a “fat 70’s single-coil sound — richer midrange, a bit more output than vintage single coils while retaining clarity.
-
It’s especially suited for classic rock, blues, vintage rock & pop styles.
-
Some describe its sound as close to Richie Blackmore’s tone during his Deep Purple era — strong mids, a thick single coil voice.
Construction & Features:
-
Radiant Field Barrier system: Metallic barriers surround the coil and magnets to reduce 60-cycle hum (i.e. mains hum) without resorting to true humbucking.
-
Lace Micro Combs®: Instead of traditional bobbin sides, these micro combs help in balancing string response and extending harmonic content.
-
Generates 36 separate magnetic “sensing” fields along the string contact area, improving sensitivity, harmonic richness, and dynamic response.
Electrical / Physical Specs:
-
DC Resistance: ~ 7.1 kΩ
-
Peak Frequency: About 3000 Hz
-
Inductance: ~ 3.38 Henries
-
Intended primarily for middle or neck positions, though users sometimes use it in bridge for more output or to balance volumes.
Physical Dimensions & Fit:
-
Standard single-coil size / Strat-style format.
-
When measuring clearance (string to pickup height), optimum height is about .170" (bottom of string to top of pickup surface) for best tone and output.
AVAILABLE AS RWRP (REVERSE WOUND)
Also available:
Hot Silver Sensor: The Lace Sensor Hot Silver Sensor delivers the classic fat, articulate tone of the Silver Sensor with added output and bite, thanks to its hotter wind and ceramic magnet. It’s the perfect choice for players who want vintage clarity with modern power and presence.
