Description
Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Bridge Parchment Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Bridge delivers the articulate, period-accurate single-coil character that sits perfectly in a live mix. Built with Alnico V magnets and a traditional wind, this pickup bridges classic Strat aesthetics with reliable, transparent tone that cuts through without losing definition. The warm parchment finish pairs well with most offset body finishes and performs equally at home in period restoration projects, vintage-inspired builds, or working gigging rigs.
Tone & Magnetic Character
At 6.13k DC resistance, this bridge model maintains the bright, articulate response a proper Strat bridge pickup needs for stage clarity while resisting excessive treble harshness. Alnico V rod magnets provide excellent string-to-string clarity and natural dynamics, letting pick attack and finger dynamics translate directly into your amp without compression or artificial coloration—critical for players who rely on pickup response in a live setting.
Construction & Installation
This passive pickup uses a single-conductor cloth cable for period-accurate wiring and minimal noise. The traditional materials and authentic wind specification ensure compatibility with vintage-era electronics and setups while delivering the tonal predictability you need from a Seymour Duncan design, whether you're restoring a classic instrument or building a road-ready player.
