Seymour Duncan AS-1n Blackouts Hot Strat Black Pickup

The Seymour Duncan AS-1n Blackouts delivers aggressive, high-output single-coil tone with modern active electronics in a format that drops directly into any standard Strat pickup cavity. This is a no-compromise neck or middle position pickup engineered for players who want clarity and punch without rewiring their entire guitar.

Active Electronics & Tone Character

Built around an AlNiCo V magnet with a resonant peak at 4.80 kHz, this pickup produces articulate highs and defined midrange attack that cuts through a live mix. The active output design eliminates the passive inductance limitations of traditional single coils, yielding consistent signal strength and reduced noise across the frequency spectrum—critical for stage reliability and consistent tone night to night.

Dual-Mode Operation & Installation

Dual-pin configuration on the underside allows instant switching between moderate and high-gain output modes—no soldering required to select your preferred level. Installation is straightforward: the pickup is a drop-in replacement for standard single-coil routs, and the complete wiring package includes 25k pots, tone capacitor, stereo jack, battery clip, and all necessary mounting hardware. Get back on stage fast without lengthy rewiring or tech work.
