Odd Mod?

Post by RavenCrest » Tue Apr 16, 2024 5:43 pm

I did a search and found some results for the Mustang or Duo-Sonic but has anyone put a Lace Sensor (any color) On a S-S equipped Jaguar?

Annie Clark had a MIJ Jaguar with lace sensors in it.

I know I'm the odd one for saying this, but in general I really like Lace Sensors in place of a lot of different single-coils...
I love the significantly reduced noise-floor and they tend to play really well with effects. But I'm also not a pickup tone fundamentalist that thinks that certain guitars' pickups need to sound one specific canonical way; likely because I don't favor a perfectly "clean" sound in the first place.

P.S.: The parts-Jag I'm building currently has SD P-Rails going into it; but if I don't end up loving them (being too noisy in certain settings), the next thing I'll try in it will likely be some Laces (since I have some spares laying around), and if none of those do it for me I'll probably spring for some Kinmans.

Back in 97 I had a black strat with a white guard, I think it was an MIJ model with a red lace in the bridge position, a blue in the neck and a silver in the middle. I LOVED the tone of that guitar and I have NO idea who I sold it to.

I have something very similar! A midnight blue '99 MIM strat with black pickguard and the same Lace Sensors in the same positions as yours... kind of a modern classic configuration that rarely gets much love.
