Description

Transform your guitar's sound with the Seymour Duncan STK-S4 Classic Stack Plus Strat. This pickup offers the cherished sparkle and punch of vintage single-coil tones, but with a twist—no unwanted hum. Thanks to its innovative dual-coil construction, the STK-S4 cleverly injects negative hum into the circuit, providing you with a noise-free experience. Perfect for genres like country, pop, and classic rock, this pickup is a versatile choice for any electric guitarist.

The STK-S4 features Alnico V rod magnets and staggered pole pieces, which enhance midrange clarity and deliver a dynamic response. Whether your guitar has a maple or rosewood fingerboard, this pickup promises to perform exceptionally well. Furthermore, the three-conductor cable allows for coil splitting, enabling true single-coil operation when desired. Wax potting ensures that your solos remain squeal-free, even under the brightest stage lights.

Best of all, installing the STK-S4 is a breeze—it's a drop-in upgrade for any "S"-style guitar. With its unique design and noise-canceling prowess, this pickup truly stands out as a must-have for players looking to capture classic tones without the hassle of hum.

Key Features:

  • Iconic single-coil tone, without the hum
  • Dual-coil design reduces unwanted EMI/RFI
  • Alnico V rod magnets for a dynamic response
  • Staggered pole pieces enhance midrange clarity
  • Three-conductor cable allows for coil splitting
