i was just about to ask if you could make me pink Death buckers for my pink Ibby ;-D
Gold is available!
Yep, we haven't advertised it just yet, but they are available.
A regular Alumitone. The Alumintone Humbucker still gives great mid range response and the bass presence is still there. Perfect for heavy rock and even certain metal!
Thanks for your input! Keep in mind...the X-Bar isn't specifically meant for metal or djent. It is for Extended Range Instruments. It's well balanced, clear, articulate, and warm. Full Jazz chords and other applications, besides metal, can be covered with this pickup.
We are talking to a few artists as well as companies that use our pickups to shoot some review and sample videos for us. Expect this very soon!
As of right now, we are offering the XBAR 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 since it is covering most builders' fanned fret guitars based on string spacing and the extreme of the fan. IF there is enough demand for lets say....a 5.0, then maybe it will be a possibility, but as of right now there aren't enough people with 10 strings with 3" or 4" fans that warrant a larger pickup. In the future I do hope this changes though!![]()
Can I get dimensions on your pups? I am about to order two of them and I am building a fan of 1 inch which isnt much so I am wondering if I could get away with just a 7 string death bar or if I need to grab a 8 stringer. A 1 inch fan is about 7 degrees. Thanks in advance!
Dimensions for the 3.5 Deathbar are : 3.5 x 1.5
The 3.5 Deathbar will suffice!![]()

So what is the actual magnet length? I'm curious how much slant to could put on these. Or, say, a 4.5" bar and still hit all the strings on an 8, 9, 10 string.
First things first: Hollowway, the 4.5 XBar magnet length is approx 4.02" (4 1/64", ~102mm). One of the magnets looks a hair longer on mine, and they're slightly offset (7mm from edge to magnet on one side, 4mm edge to magnet on other).

I'm trying to figure out how to install the XBar with a 1 vol no tone guitar, and I'm having a little trouble figuring this out. I've gotten the 1 hum 1 vol diagram from guitarelectronics.com http://static.zoovy.com/img/guitarelectronics/W550-H420-Bffffff/W/wd1h0010_00.jpg. I have no idea how that corresponds to the orange, green, black&white, and white(I assume ground) wires.
Where do I send the orange? in the Lace diagrams it says send to switch (which I don't have here), and do I send white and green to the volume pot? Then the black&white wire goes to the bridge(gonna try something else before I drill a hole) ground? What are the two that I'm supposed to solder together according to the guitarelectronics diagram?
Sorry for the tech hijack here, but I figured this is the best spot since some of you have done this (or similar) already.
Thank you so much! Following your instructions I was able to get the X-Bar installed! This was my first solo installation too. Got it set up for height adjustment by using a piece of foam (notched for plug and lead) with the four screws. Turns out there was a ground from bridge - it was hidden under the battery holder. I was only able to test it for 10 seconds when I put the low E1 on, but it sounded great!
I'll be testing it with the AxeFX in a few minutes, and I'll toss up a pic as well (edit:npd in PE&G).
Do the alumitone single coils have any significant difference in sound from the humbucker versions? I adore the humbucker, but If I can avoid getting a custom pickguard fr my new MIM strat I'd be quite happy.
Hi,
I'm fairly set on getting some Lace pickups in a couple of custom orders I have coming up, first and foremost a .strandberg*
I was wondering you could clarify the difference between the X-Bar and Deathbar (vague question, sorry).
More specifically, I'm a technical player. I like warm but fairly dry sounds, using low gain setting on high gain setups to achieve the dryness I mention. I also use broad spanning chords a lot so I like clean, even response but a nice amount of attack. I like my chords to seem quite sudden and together and a bit of aggression. Which of the 2 would you suggest? Its for a long scale fanned 7 string tuned E0-C#3
I didn't wanna email you cos i didn't want to waste your time but I figured if I posted here you could answer in your own time haha.
