Seymour Duncan SA-3HC Hum-Canceling Woody, Walnut Pickup

Seymour Duncan SA-3HC Hum-Canceling Woody, Walnut Pickup

The SA-3HC Hum-Canceling Woody mounts invisibly into any acoustic guitar's soundhole, delivering a thick, compressed tone without visible hardware or permanent modification. The walnut housing and hum-cancelling design eliminate 60-cycle noise while capturing the natural resonance of steel-string acoustics, making this pickup essential for gigging musicians who need reliable amplified sound without sacrificing the instrument's aesthetic or structural integrity.

Design & Installation

This passive, noiseless magnetic pickup requires no soldering, drilling, or routing—it installs in seconds and removes just as quickly between sets or venues. The double-potted walnut housing resists feedback and handles stage volume with stability, while the included 14-foot low-capacitance studio-quality cable with 1/4″ connector reaches your amp or mixing console without signal degradation.

Tone & Performance

The hum-cancelling design delivers a fatter, more compressed sound compared to single-coil versions, eliminating electrical noise that plagues single-magnet soundhole pickups on stage. Integrates seamlessly with any guitar amplifier, P.A. system, or mixing console, and responds accurately only to steel strings, ensuring clean, noise-free amplification in live venues and studio recordings.
