Nick Johnston-designed Electric Guitar from Schecter with BBT Upgrade

Custom Shop Sound, on an Indonesian Budget

BBT Custom Shop Upgrade features

Lace Chrome Dome Pickups.

Two 6.0K pickups for Neck and Middle and one 13.2K Bridge pickup

The Chrome Domes have been praised for both their "sweet, rounded tones" and simultaneously described as sounding like "a Strat on steroids." This was accomplished by modifying a guitar pickup already known for its bell-like tone and rich history, the original Gold Sensor. We took the Gold, long a favorite of such artists as Eric Clapton, and "slammed and crammed" it with "hotter magnetic", and reverse wound the middle pickup, then wrapped the pickups in chrome-plated heavy brass.

We specifically upgraded it and did some very direct tweaking with the coil, so it gives a sweeter, more rounded tone, but with a lot more punch. This "turbo charging" results in sweet highs that don't pierce and solid lows that don't boom and a lot of power. If there was ever a hot rod vintage Lace Sensor pickup, this is the one.
 

For Optimal Tone: Use our suggested pickup heights. These measurements are good for any of our pickups. Start with these measurements and adjust height to preference.

String distance from the pickup, fretted at 21st fret: 
High “E”: 
-NECK: 1.5mm
-MID: 2.0mm
-BRIDGE: 1.0mm

String distance from the pickup, fretted at 21st fret: 
Low “E”: 
-Neck: 2.5mm
-Mid: 3.5mm
-Bridge: 2.0mm

(REMEMBER string thickness applies to height - use bottom of string closest to pickup for measurement.) Music Styles: Boogie, Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz

Think: Clapton, Townshend, Ron Wood, Tommy Bolin, Rory Gallagher
Sound: Classic vintage Strat tone, with slightly more midrange
