I just bought a new American Standard Stratocaster for a really good price. I want to swap out the pickups for either Lace Gold Sensors or Vintage Noiseless. I'm going for the best/closest Clapton tone possible.

His signature strat now features the Vintage Noiseless, but originally had the Lace Sensors. Anybody played with both and prefer one over the other? Just need feedback.

Thanks

I played a new Clapton sig with the noiseless yesterday at a local music shop. Played it through a Fender '57 Deluxe re-issue. What an amazing amp! The guitar sounded great. I plugged in an American Strat to compare it to Clapton's and Clapton's guitar had more bite. Sweet guitar. I don't remember what the Lace sensors sound like. It's been a long time since I've played a guitar with them in it...

i prefer the vintage noiseless. thats what I put in my strat.

I read in reviews that they were quiet pickups, but they aren't. The bridge and middle pickups are actually quite loud.

the pups also have some bite to them, so if you want late clapton, you might want to try the lace sensors, but if you want the early clapton sound, i would try some vintage noiseless.

It might be more than just pickups you need. The EC Strats that I've seen have :

Pickups: 3 Vintage Noiseless Strat Pickups (Neck, Middle, Bridge)

Controls: Master Volume, Tone 1. Master TBX, Tone 2. Master Active Mid Boost (0-25db)
