So what do you like better micro coils or Lace Sensor’s? I own four Strat's. One has Texas Specials. What I like about Texas Specials is the thin, clear and very smooth sounding chords high up on the neck, nice funk sound. The notes just chime like bells with very little attack. The down side is that's the only thing I've found Texas Specials are good for and these are the noisest pickup I've uese. Lace Red, Silver, Blue. The red seems to have too much attack for my taste also a lot of mid range. The silver sounds good by itself or mixed with red and blue. The blue might be a tad bit too muddy. Sometimes I like it. Rainbow Pack: Burgundy, Silver, Emerald. It seems maybe Lace was trying to emulate Texas Specials. These are thin, bright, and clear but not smooth like the Texas Specials. Lace Silver Gold Gold: This is my own arrangement and my favorite all around sound. Silver sounds great in the bridge with no bright shrill harsh sound. Gold's are perfect for the middle and neck. I've not tried the Hot Gold's yet but they will be the next set I try. Lace Sensors are the only noiseless pickups I've tried. They tend to be on the warm side but you can brighten them up with the tone control. I will testify that for all around versatility Gold and Silver Lace Sensors are the best for me. Lace has awesome customer support. I bought the Rainbow pack from Musician’s Friend and they sat on the shelf for months before I put them in. When I got done the Silver did not work and it read open on my ohm meter. This is probably the first time I did not check my pickups with an ohm meter before I installed them. I got an RMA from Lace and they either fixed it or replaced it for free and sent it back to me.
