Put a Texas special in the bridge and a blue lace sensor pickup in the neck. Can a blue lace sensor pickup get close to the clean sound as a Vintage noiseless telecaster neck pickup? I want my tele to get close to this sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTxxiSZkbhs
in the video he posted "I used Vintage noiseless tele in neck, Texas special under the bridge, I think it sounds Teleish." So what do you think get the same set up as him but replace his neck pickup with a blue lace, and I should get close to that sound?

There are many other factors that influence what comes out at the end of the signal chain. My only consideration with a Lace Sensor in the neck is whether there is an issue of output difference when you play low and high on the neck. Sensors are supposed to be set close to the strings. It's less of an issue if you have low action. Maybe some Sensor users know more? If it's no issue, I see no reason not to go for it. For my money, a Wilde L280 is still your best for a classic sounding noiseless SC, or more aptly: "SA" (Single Aperture).
