Cypress, CA (January 19, 2017) -- Lace Music Products is introducing the new, Aluma Disc magnetic pickup for acoustic guitar.
Building upon the Lace patented “current driven” technology, Aluma Disc offers the player a pickup which offers both feedback suppression and amplified sound in one unit. As natural feedback occurs through many playing situations, the Aluma Disc covers the entire soundhole area while also acting as the magnetic pickup for the guitar.
Based on patented Alumitone technology, which uses an initial “current” rather than voltage design, the pickup is the soundhole feedback suppressor in simple terms.
An elegant design with simple installation gives the Aluma Disc a true acoustic tone without any noise or feedback. Conventional magnetic designs would incur a large coil as part of the pickup, whereas the Aluma Disc coil is designed with 95 percent less copper wire. The Aluma Disc winding weighs a mere 3 ounces, thus defeating the chance of coil feedback and eliminating outside noise completely.
The Aluma Disc will be available Spring 2017. The suggested retail price is $128.99.

Lace Music
The day before they played the coveted Blue Room at Third Man Records in Nashville, the Washington, D.C.-based garage-punk duo Teen Mortgage released their debut record, Devil Ultrasonic Dream. Not a bad couple of days for a young band.
PG’s Chris Kies caught up with guitarist and vocalist James Guile at the Blue Room to find out how he builds the band’s bombastic guitar attack.
Brought to you by D’Addario.
Devilish Dunable
Guile has been known to use Telecasters and Gretsches in the past, but this time out he’s sticking with this Dunable Cyclops DE, courtesy of Gwarsenio Hall—aka Jordan Olds of metal-themed comedy talk show Two Minutes to Late Night. Guile digs the Dunable’s lightness on his shoulders, and its balance of high and low frequencies.
Storm Warning
What does Guile like about this Squier Cyclone? Simple: its color. This one is also nice and easy on the back, and Guile picked it up from Atomic Music in Beltsville, Maryland.
Crushing It
Guile also scooped this Music Man 410-HD from Atomic, which he got just for this tour for a pretty sweet deal. It runs alongside an Orange Crush Bass 100 to rumble out the low end.
James Guile’s Pedalboard
The Electro-Harmonix Micro POG and Hiwatt Filter Fuzz MkII run to the Orange, while everything else—a DigiTech Whammy, Pro Co Lil’ RAT, and Death by Audio Echo Dream 2—runs to the Music Man. A TC Helicon Mic Mechanic is on board for vocal assistance, and a TC Electronic PolyTune 3, Morley ABY, and Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 3 Plus keep the ship afloat.
