The Lace Research and Development Lab created, designed and innovated the first Lace Jazz pickup for the ultimate Jazz guitar player. We started by lowering the peak frequency to build a rich dynamically full tone. The initial pick attack is very responsive to technique. We’ve modified the magnetics to create a more precise semi-closed loop magnetic field yielding full range tone with detailed structure. Fusion 251 neck is 5.0K ohms.
Lace built a new specification Alumitone for the bridge. A bridge pickup, when properly designed compliments the neck pickup and works well with it.
In the bridge, we increased the strength on the magnetic field, added a back plate for the semi-closed loop magnet effect, then we’ve increased the resistance to 6.1 K ohms(X3 for actual output on any non Alumitone pickup). The net result is a full bridge that keeps up with the neck. You can now have the versatility of using your bridge equally as much as your neck.
The Alumitones, with their broad band response, allows you to do more. More from you're amp, more from your pedal, and less signal loss with a longer guitar cable. Designed in California and Made in USA. George Benson and Dean Grech Currently play with the Fusion Jazz 251 pickups.
