Also, I like a noise-free pickup, and the Lace Sensor Gold tops the Seymour Duncan pickups, in my opinion

Just upgraded from stock MIM to Lace Sensor Gold.

Regarding the pickups, the Lace Sensor Gold stands out to me as one of the best pickups on the market for its near-noiseless tone, and its unique look (no pole pieces).

; I think the Lace Sensor Gold is similar to the Kinmans, although I think the Kinmans are somewhat higher output, and the sound is slightly different, which is a matter of taste
