Description
The Purple sits right in the middle of the Lace Sensor lineup’s output ladder, giving you more grind than a Blue Sensor without tipping into Burgundy-level aggression. Drop it in the bridge for a single-coil that can hang with heavier rigs, or use it in the neck when you want something closer to a P-90 growl than a glassy Strat tone.
What sets it apart from a standard single coil is the construction underneath the cover. Instead of a traditional bobbin, Lace uses their patented Micro Combs and a Radiant Field Barrier – a metal shield that wraps the coil and magnets to cut 60-cycle hum while also shaping a wider, more concentrated sensing field. Where a typical pickup only reads the string across 4 to 12 magnetic points, a Sensor reads it across 36, which is a big part of why these pickups sound so different from the coil-and-magnet designs most players grew up on.
That efficiency lets Lace get away with lower-energy magnets than conventional pickups need. Less magnetic pull means less string dampening, so you get noticeably longer sustain and notes that hold their pitch more accurately instead of getting dragged flat by an overly strong magnet.
- Hot, overwound single coil – output between Blue and Burgundy Sensors
- Radiant Field Barrier design for hum reduction
- 36-point sensing field for a broader harmonic picture
- Lower-energy magnets for improved sustain and truer pitch
- White cover
Setup tip: for best tone and output, set the string-to-pickup gap at .170″ – roughly the thickness of two dimes and a nickel stacked together, measured from the bottom of the string.
