It´s usually just above the neck joint on the back of the neck on the Japanese ones.

uhuhuhuhuhu...

Really? You smartass. :p

No, my "Jap-Strat" DOESN'T have a Fender neck!!! Yet, Elvis could tell by looking at the body.

Fucker!!!

OK that´s more or less impossible cos it´s a question of mood and where and what!

Lat´s say last gig:

LAG Rockline for most of the stuff.

ESP 901 as backup for the LAG

Green SG copy for the old school stuff we cover.

Fender Bronco as backup for that.

My 1985/86 Fender Japan Collectable series 57 RI Strat is what I currently play when looking for those vintage clear sounds. I´ll check if I already posted that one here!

K and fair enough. However and I realize you have a gazillion axes but don't you have just one or two "babies" that you could never part with and you always play more than the others? I mean like my "Bluey?" I have some stellar axes but that guitar is my bitch. It's like a part of me.

But, quite honestly, I could tell you even if the guitars had no markings at all...

Not even a Fender sign...

Hey, either Elvis or kentuckyklira...

As long as we're talkin' shop, either of you own, have any opinions or knowledge regarding Fender's Lace Sensor pickups? I' figure I'd ask you guys first prior to starting a thread. My friend had a Strat, oh about in 1991 when they were stock and the tone was spectacular, crisp and clean. However, Fender doesn't put them on any of their guitars anymore yet they still sell like crezzi and there's a huge market for them.

The reason I'm asking is I considered buying them about 15 years ago. I scored a USA Strat that's about two years old and I wouldn't mind fucking with it. Besides, the bridge pickup has a funky "buzz" noise to it, so I started thinking about those lace sensors. There's a used set at a local guitar shop that's really cheap. I was wondering what you guys thought? I'll probably just go ahead and get them anyway but it would be nice to hear either one of you guys' opinions prior to doing it.

Oh and BTW. the pickups are the "Gold" ones if that helps? Also the set of three, they're selling them for sixty bucks. Again, what do you guys think?

[kentuckyklira]

A set of 3 Lace Sensor golds for 60 bucks is a "no questions, here´s the cash gimme my pups" deal. They´re great pick ups. Slighty less attack (or "twang" if you may) than your typical Fender single coil. Makes them sound a bit warmer, but absolutely without turning muddy or anything like that!

Sweet and thank you my brother, I'll pick them up. Cos these aren't for my "main" '83 Strat. They'll be used for one I picked up from a friend of a friend who needed $$$ recently and sold me his axe for next to nothing. I really don't even like the guitar. Still, it's a USA Strat and I was game for the price. The neck is horrible, the frets almost feel like they'll cut your fingers plus it's rosewood. Not meaning to offend anyone but I despise rosewood fretboards on strats.
