A "hot single coil" designed for the bridge position

The Seymour Duncan SSL-5-RWRP is a single coil pickup designed to add more body and sustain to a Strat, especially in the bridge position. Where a traditional single coil might sound thin or harsh, this model delivers more present mids and a denser response, while maintaining the snap and dynamics essential for blues and rock parts.

For whom and in which styles?

This pickup is aimed at guitarists who like to play with the guitar's volume, pick hard, and switch from a tight crunch to a thicker distortion. In Texas blues rock, it highlights bite and grain. In classic rock, it delivers full and clear riffs. In heavy rock, it handles higher gain well while maintaining good note definition, especially on open chords.

RWRP: more versatility in positions 2 and 4

The term RWRP means reverse wound, reverse polarity. Practically, when combined with another "standard" single coil in a middle selector position, it produces a cleaner sound and is often less prone to noise, while retaining the typical character of positions 2 and 4. Add the Alnico V for presence and attack, and you have a bridge pickup that remains musical, expressive, and very effective in a band setting.
