Lace used slightly less magnetics than stock vintage pups - this helps cure the excessive loose string vibration (caused by Drop Tuning) from overdriving the signal. Then they mismatch the coils ...so in the bridge pickup the one 15.1k coil of the 2 coils drives the pup hard--- and the other 9.0k coil, pull's out the necessary articulation.

Lace's unique patented Sensor design allows the coils to be mismatched. This is something that can only be slightly altered in a standard humbucker or what happens is the hum canceling effects will be lost.

Lace pickups are already single coil with no hum so they can add any combinations together without loosing the hum canceling effects.

Making the Lace "Drop & Gain" pickup unique and one of a kind.

Lace used the same hot barium ferrite magnets as the High output Lace Sensor Red pickups.

Dual Coil Neck Pickup Description (4901):

Neck Upper coil - 5.9k ... adds the highs and articulation
Neck Lower coil - 8.9k ... adds the drive, mids, bass and a fuller fatter, over-wound PAF tone.

This neck pickup will give you that big fat, full, over wound humbucking sound. It is one killer neck pickup.

Dual Coil Bridge Pickup Description (4902):

Bridge upper coil - 15.1k ... adds the drive, mids, bass and a full, fat, hot, PAF tone.
Bridge lower coil - 9.0k ... This is the coil that is most important, it sits closer to the bridge and picks up more highs and helps get that important articulation that has escaped most high gain & dropped tune players for years.

Not solely used just for Drop & Gain work ... They're being used in baritone guitars, also with standard tunings, and they work great for all types of musical styles.
