A classic "hot Strat" in the Seymour Duncan range
The SSL-7 "Quarter Pound" has become a reference for guitarists who love the Strat tone but want more body, more punch, and a pickup that doesn't compress when pushing the amp or pedals. This staggered version retains the single coil spirit while adding a pronounced presence in the mids and a very "live" dynamic feel.
For whom and in which styles?
Designed for guitarists who want to switch from crisp cleans to thick crunch without changing guitars, this pickup excels in Blues, Classic Rock, Garage, and Heavy Rock, while remaining comfortable when tightening the low end and gaining impact in Classic Metal and Nu-Metal. The SSL-7-RWRP is particularly relevant as a middle or neck pickup depending on your wiring, to keep the Strat character while thickening the sound.
RWRP: a tangible advantage on stage and in the studio
The RWRP (Reverse Wound, Reverse Polarity) configuration means the pickup is wound in reverse and magnetized in reverse compared to a standard single coil. The result: combined with another compatible single coil, you get a quieter middle position, highly appreciated under stage lighting, near power supplies, or with high gain settings. The pickup remains a true single coil, with its precision and bite, but you gain comfort in typical Strat 2 and 4 pickup configurations.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Seymour Duncan SSL-7-RWRP reduce noise in positions 2 and 4?
The reversed polarity and coil RWRP allow for a quieter middle position when paired with another compatible single coil. This setup reduces hum notably under stage lighting or with gain.
What tone does a 14.8 kΩ Strat Quarter Pound pickup deliver?
With a resistance of 14.8 kΩ, this single coil offers more body and punch than a very light Strat tone. The midrange is more present while the dynamics remain suitable for snappy cleans and thick crunches.
Can it be installed at the neck or middle positions of a Strat?
This model is designed for the neck or middle positions on a Strat-type guitar. Its RWRP configuration makes it particularly suitable for installation in the middle to achieve noiseless combinations.
What styles is the SSL-7-RWRP suited for?
Its Alnico V magnet and resonance peak at 4.8 kHz target blues, classic rock, garage, and heavy rock. The low end can still retain impact for classic metal and nu-metal.
Are the SSL-7-RWRP poles staggered and does it come with a cover?
The staggered version uses staggered poles. The black finish is specified without a cover.
