Custom Stack Plus: the modernized "Strat" spirit for stage and studio
The STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus is designed for guitarists who want to keep the feel and response of a single-coil pickup while gaining ease of use with better immunity to noise. In other words: you retain the dynamics and clarity expected from a Strat-style guitar, but limit unwanted noise that often appears with single coils, especially in high-gain settings, stage lighting, or near power supplies.
Who is it for and what styles?
This pickup is aimed at musicians who navigate between Blues, Rock, Pop, and Classic Rock, and want an expressive sound both in clean and crunch tones. Its output headroom facilitates solos, denser riffs, and rhythms that need to stay present, while maintaining definition on pick attacks and right-hand nuances.
Stack design, interference rejection, and wiring: control and versatility
Thanks to its dual single-coil format architecture, the Custom Stack Plus aims to combine the best of both worlds: the precision of a single coil with quieter operation. Its 3-conductor shielded wiring offers practical installation options, and the split function allows you to tailor the response according to your selector switch, push/pull pots, or wiring scheme. With a resonance peak at 4.85 kHz, the presence is well-positioned for clarity without becoming harsh.
