Product Description
Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered Strat - Neck/Middle/Bridge - White - Electric Guitar Pickup
- David Gilmour needed a pumped-up sound for his famous Black Strat, so Seymour wound what became the Custom Staggered medium-output Stratocaster pickup. It has been, and continues to be, an honor to work with such a legend. The Custom Staggered is a special overwound single-coil that strikes a great balance between increased output and classic Stratocaster tonal character.
- It will deliver bigger, fatter chords, and will cut through the mix more clearly than a traditional Strat pickup, all the while maintaining the magic and mojo that make a Strat sound like a Strat. Single notes are bold and loud, and solos truly sing.
- The Custom Staggered Strat pickup is also available in a 7-string version. The bobbins are built with hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets, lacquered and wound, and are wax potted for squeal-free performance. We use modern oval Forbon flatwork (non-triangular) which enables this pickup to fit into any guitar that is routed for single coils.
- Handmade in Santa Barbara, California: Seymour Duncan takes pride in designing and crafting our products to create the most amazing sound possible. That starts with providing an environment that attracts and retains our great team of engineers, product designers and craftsmen, many of whom have been with the company for decades.
- DCR Neck: 13.30, DCR Middle: 13.30, DCR Bridge: 13.30, Magnet: Alnico 5, PVC Lead Wire Cable
The Seymour Duncan SSl-5 Custom Staggered Single-Coil Bridge Pickup is a high output, true single-coil electric guitar pickup for warm instruments. it's a perfect match for Texas blues rock, classic rock, and heavy rock.Though the SSL-5 looks like the Seymour Duncan SSL-1 and has that distinct vintage tone, the SSL-5's over-wound coil yields higher output, more sustain, and great harmonics. The result is a pickup that rocks hard and cuts through the mix, but cleans up nicely when you back off the volume. Includes white cover.Complete setup:Many players use an Seymour Duncan SSL-5 pickup in the bridge position with vintage output pickups, like SSL-1's, in the neck and middle for tonal versatility.Guitars:For heavier and brighter-toned instruments with ash or alder bodies. Works well with maple or rosewood fingerboards.Players:Nick Lashley, Alanis Morissette, Mick Jagger, Rickey Medlocke, Mike Estes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Wallflowers.
