A classic Seymour Duncan "Stack Plus" designed to preserve the Strat DNA
The STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus is part of Seymour Duncan's stacked pickups designed to recapture the tone and response of a Stratocaster pickup while eliminating background noise. Its slightly overwound coil adds a bit of extra body and authority without tipping into the high output typical of modern humbuckers.
Who is it for and what styles?
This guitar pickup is tailored for players who play clean, crunch, or with gain and want a single coil sound without hum for rehearsals, studio, or stage. It excels in blues, rock, pop, funk, and classic rock, delivering fuller chords and notes that "sing" more, while maintaining the clarity and brightness expected from a Strat.
Design, magnets, and wiring: the detail that makes all the difference
Thanks to its stacked humbucker construction, the Vintage Hot Stack Plus greatly reduces interference while preserving the feel of a Single Coil. The Alnico V magnets enhance attack and definition, while the medium output level allows for nuance at the guitar's volume control. Its 3-conductor shielded cable opens up multiple wiring options (depending on your electronics), and the pickup is designed to remain stable and quiet, even with more saturated tones.
