very smooth sound.

well, you kinda just hit a string and it makes noise. yeah.

definitely worth 60 bucks apeice.

i've been saving for these ever since i got my mexican stratocaster.

Not as crytal clear and glassy as stock fender single coil pickups. These are clean, accurate, slightly compressed, with more sustain and less noise than stock pups. It is in my opinion, the end all, be all of single coil replacements and the best pickups on the market today. -The Red Lace Sensor is biting and aggresive with a bit more of a humbucker sound without losing the single coil bite and attack. Very nice for hard rock with medium-high distortion. -The Gold Lace Sensor is shimmery and transparent without being noisy. It sounds very good in the neck position and you for recording, is just about as good of a pickup as you will find.

I dont know if pickups can "wear out" , but I have no doubt that these will out last the body and neck of my Stratocaster

Compared to similarly priced offering from other company's, these win hands down in the value department. I've heard EMG actives are the best pickups of the single coil variety, but price wise, the Lace Sensors blow them away.

Very attractive white covers with paint color that matches each pickup. I purchased a pearloid pickguard along with these two pickups to modify my guitar and it's beginning too look very, very cool. Many compliments.
