You can get Lace Sensors out of the Musician's Friend catalog i.e.,
Http://www.musiciansfriend.com The blue pickups are $49.99, the red ones
are $59.99, golds are $39.99 and silvers ar $49.99. Their prices are just
about the same as Mars or Guitar Center. I think Carvins are actually a good
deal and Carvin has recently come out with a dual coil strat pickup. But the
purists might be offended with dual coils. I think EMG actually has a better
idea using "low impedence" pickups which negate the noise and favor the
midtones. Since low impedence pickups have low output, this necessitates the
use of onboard preamps. the DG module EMG makes (David Gilmour) is great.
Just listen to Gilmour's strat tones. His tones have always amazed me. Other
folks have avoided onboard preamps and just keep with straight high impedance
single coils i.e, Bonnie Raitt uses the Kinmans which seem very nice. I think
this is where I would be headed.
