Lace Sensors for Tele

snorky · July 28th, 2003, 03:33 PM

Has anyone tried a set of Lace sensors in their Tele ?. Lace sells them on their site. I am now using Texas Specials in my 62 RI Tele and dont really like them. I play blues/rock . If anyone can help please let me know.
Thanks,
Snorky

Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead uses lace-sensors on a Tele-Plus.He has a blue lace-sensor in the neck and a red dual lace-sensor in the bridge position. Makes it sound more like a strat than a tele, though.

Sorry, that's as far as I know about lace-sensors.

I used to own (I Think it was a 1995) Tele Plus Model,with the Blue- Neck/Red duallys-Bridge Lace Sensors,it had the normal 3-way switch,and also a small 3- position Toggle switch on the control plate,with this you could split the Red's,or use them together as Humbuckers,and with this set up,there was sure a number of Tone options!!.
I liked this Pickup arrangement, and It was sure Hot!,We played Rockabilly/Country/and Rock & Roll ,but I would suggest you have a test of a Sensor Pickup fitted Tele, to form your own opinions !.

I found them to be lifeless in my Strat. YMMV
