So I got a hold of some Lace Sensors in a trade I did with theodie, and dropped them in my strat. I also had to replace the volume pot (finally wore out after 8 years of use) and put a chrome knob on there for better grippage when riding the volume control.

From neck to bridge we have a Blue, Silver, Red Laces in there. I REALLY like them... humbucker power and fatness, single coil sparkle, low noise, and no magnet pull! Kinda hi-fi sounding but its got some vintage around the edges.

How do y'all like the new look?

That guitar's becoming such a bastardized peice but I love it.

Haha, one chrome knob. I freakin love it man.

I'm diggin the look bro.

I'm also diggin them two wood screws closest to the bridge.

ROTFL... can't believe you noticed that.

What'd you expect? I'm the king of Afro-engineering.

Pretty sweet, man. The black pups offset the white pickguard nicely.

why did u swap HH for SSS anyways?

I didn't.

That was a completely different guitar. This is a '95 Mexican Strat. The one you refer to was a '98 MIA FR Strat. They both have red bodies (althought the MIA was Candy Apple) rosewood fretboards, and maple necks though.

Please replace the knobs with black ones.

Yes.

Nice. I'd complete it by putting black tuners on there and replacing the tone knobs with chrome tele knobs.

that looks awesome!!!
the only thing I would change it make all the knobs matching.

I used to have the same set-up in a strat... (possibly the same pups?)

Anyway, great set-up, and great looK!

Rock ON

I know many Strat fans hate the Lace Sensors but i like them... I enjoy the Clapton set up with Lace's.... Love the Lace/Strat tones Pete Townshend gets these days with his Custom-ized Clapton strats and his Vibro King amps! He has Lace's on his guitars still. He also has a Fishman bridge that he runs into a Fender Acoustisonic amp. He runs both signals at once so it sounds like their is almost 2 guitarists coming from his rig.

I have a Lace in the middle of 2 humbuckers on my Warmoth strat and it sounds great! I have no idea which model it is as the colour was worn off it when i bought it.... I paid a tech $20 for it to take it off his hands.... It was just sitting on his bench.

I will buy more Laces in the future.... Gold ones if i can find them cheap.....

I want to... but the grip of the chrome knob is kinda growing on me. Plus I like the bastardized look. Maybe one chrome and two black?Originally Posted by Hot _GritsNice. I'd complete it by putting black tuners on there and replacing the tone knobs with chrome tele knobs.

I only like black tuners on all-maple necks. I do have 2 more chrome knobs like the first one lying around, though.Originally Posted by FretFireI bet I screwed that one up . The axe looks great bro, enjoy it.

I got these from theodie... did you give them to him?Originally Posted by WhoFanI will buy more Laces in the future.... Gold ones if i can find them cheap.....

Personally I dont like the Golds, they're much too thin for me. Whenever I try an old Clapton strat with them I leave the midrange boost on all the way but the Blues sound like that ALREADY.

if you really want to make it a real bastard I saw once skull and cross bones tuners. or replace the knobs with dice.
