Lace Sensor fans and electronics-savy people, I need some input on what Sensor colors to pick.

Some Electro-Harmonix pedals have hidden messages printed on the PCBs, placed on the screen during layout by various engineers - one of them is "listen to Cookies Galore." It was a band of one of the employees...

Didn't see anything in the strat book (though i was tired) but in the tele book they indicate two sets. One is composed of blue and gold for classic clean late 50s sound. For post 60s a hotter combo of silver and red. All depends what you're looking for... me ... likey silver red

Oh yeah ... mr g dies by strangulation by bond... his bodyguard gets sucked out an airplane window like a tube of human tooth paste, by bond ... bond and p--- Galore wind up in bed ... book ends.

Steely Dan fan eh?

For a very long time I believed the urban legend that Pearl Jam meant…a certain fluid with the consistency of jam that was pearl in color, and somewhere along the line the urban legend evolved to "Pearl Jam" being a Naked Lunch reference. It made for an interesting bit of trivia that Pearl Jam and Steely Dan got their names the same way.

Vedder says that’s not what the name means, and I’ve never read Naked Lunch (I think I saw the Cronenberg movie at some point) so I’m not sure if "Pearl Jam" is even in there.

It's not

This got off topic quickly… @ThisIsHuhWow404 did you decide on pickups yet?

Still torn between RedBlue/Silver/Emerald and RedBlue/HotGold/HotGold. Probably won’t start this build until December at the earliest. I still have my Meadowhawk I’m working on, and a Tele Custom build (which I might do in a V shape) before I get to this one.

Nice. I know you are chasing that neck/mid Strat sound… bear in mind on an old Strat, the pickups weren’t wound to different specifications, so the matching HotGolds may be a little more suited to your goals.

I’m excited to see how this progresses, I love the posts here that get down to the gnats a** details… even if most of it will wash out in a live mix
