Description
Seymour Duncan Hot Chicken Strat Stack Bridge OW Pickup
The Hot Chicken Strat Stack delivers aggressive, articulate bridge-position tone in a compact stacked-coil format that fits standard single-coil cavities without modification. This pickup cuts through a mix with clarity and punch while maintaining the single-coil Strat character players expect, making it a direct drop-in replacement for players seeking hotter output without sacrificing definition.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The 23.72k Ω DC resistance and stacked-coil architecture produce a high-output signal with enhanced midrange presence and treble articulation ideal for rock, blues, and lead work. The A5 chamfered rod magnets contribute focused, punchy response that translates well through overdrive and distortion while remaining responsive to pick dynamics at cleaner settings.
