Alumitone's Secret

I've wanted to attach a video on my previous post but decided that it would be better to make a new post instead. Many people pay very little attention to Lace Sensor pickup. So I thought it would be nice to share the little knowledge I have for Lace.
The video below will show you the differences between a normal humbucker and a alumitone. You can now picture what I mean by Alumitone being 'coil-less' through this.

Swarovski + pickup?

This is the 2nd post that mention Swarovski. The 1st post was on Orianthi's MJ (click to read more)
The equation this time would be...

and you get

Blingbucker (what an awkward name)

These lace sensor pickups are basically Alumitone pickups, Deathbucker to be exact, studded with Swarovski crystal. Don Lace first introduced them to the world at Winter NAMM 2011.

Lace Music's main focus on producing their pickups is to be 'noiseless', which would be a great help for recording. Alumitone is one of such innovations. (This was the  What makes Alumitone pickup unique compared to other pickups is... they are 'coil-less'. Yes, they do not have copper wire wounded around it.

Take a look at this Dog-ear style pickup. What is the difference between with the usual P90? 

Lace's P90 is created using the Alumitone technology, rather than the usual pickup technology. So why are there poles in the pickups? Actually the 'poles' on the pickups are Swarovski crystals.

I'm not a bling-inclined person. In fact, I find them excessive.

2 Singles = Humbucker?

Humbucker, as all know, is made up of 2 coils isn't?
Well then, do you think it is possible to make your OWN humbucker out of single coils?
Well,

Aoi of The GazettE proves it yes.





This is his guitar.

and here's the closer look of his pickups. 

These are single coil pickups but they are made to serve as humbuckers. The two pickups on the neck are Seymour Duncan lil 59' and Lace Sensor Hot gold. As for the bridge, it consists of LS hot gold and SD SLSD (lil screamin' demon). They ARE hum cancelling. Both SL59 AND SLSD are hum-cancelling and so are the LS hot golds. As for why, you've gotta be a bit hardworking and visit their site and look for the answers. =)

Guitar is a very customisable instrument. It can be altered and modified in many ways.
