I thought I would take a moment to introduce a familiar name to many of you, Lace. Knowing of the name though doesnt
tell you what weve been up to these days.
Lace Music Products is a family owned company. Lace is celebrating its 30th year in business. Today, from its small
start in the family garage, started by Don Lace, Sr. and his sons, and his wife Dorothy, the company manufactures the
best pickups in the world today. The original equipment Lace Sensor technology continues as one of the most influential
pickups in tone today. Almost every player of notoriety has played Lace over the past years. Our new Hot Gold version
of the Sensor is in many circles the tone of choice. Lace Sensors run the gambit from Lace Gold to Lace Reds as well as
our other models. All for that specific noise free tone.
Holy Grail, our vintage creation by Jeff Lace, is vintage with technologically advanced design from the today. Same goes
for our P-90 style pickups with the patented technology.
Alumitones are the ultimate revolution in tone since the first pickup was designed. With Worldwide patents and incredible
tone it is quite frankly, the absolute technological leap in pickup design. It is High Definition for your guitar. The ability to
eliminate batteries, increase tonal options for any guitar with zero noise interference in any and all setting from live to the
garage to the multi track recording house.
Why go with Lace? The above reasons should give you an idea. Leading edge design, tone, tone and more tone, never in
an old style. Unique yet competitive, brand awareness for innovation, quality and tone always!

less outside interference. This makes the signal-tonoise ration nothing short of phenomenal for a single
coil system. Also, a wider range of harmonic content
is read by the Sensors, delivering a more complex
tonal response.
Increased Sustain, Truer Pitch
Since they operate so efficiently, Lace Sensors can
utilize 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, reducing sustain and actually changing the pitch. But in Lace Sensors, 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.

Chrome Domes
The Chrome Domes have been praised for both their sweet,
rounded tones and simultaneously described as sounding like a
Strat on steroids. This was accomplished by modifying a pickup
already known for its bell-like tone and rich history, the original Gold
Sensor.
We took the Gold, long a favorite of such artists as Eric Clapton,
and slammed and crammed it with hotter magnetics, and
reverse wound the middle pickup, then wrapped the pickups in
chrome-plated heavy brass.
We specifically upgraded it and did some very direct tweaking with
the coil, so it gives a sweeter, more rounded tone, but with a lot
more punch. This turbo-charging results in sweet highs that dont
pierce and solid lows that dont boom. And a lot of power. If there
was ever a hot-rod vintage Lace Sensor, this is the one.
