Seymour Duncan SA-3SC Single Coil Woody, Black Pickup

The SA-3SC Woody is a passive soundhole pickup engineered to capture acoustic resonance with clarity and minimal feedback. Its compact black stained wood housing mounts cleanly into steel-string guitars without compromising aesthetics or altering the instrument's natural vibration. This is a no-frills transducer designed for players who need honest amplification of their acoustic tone.

Design & Construction

Built with double potted construction, this single-coil design resists feedback and microphonic noise—critical for stage use and close-miked recording. The black stained wood housing fits sound holes between 3.75″ to 4.0″ (94–100mm), and the entire assembly is manufactured in Santa Barbara, California to exacting standards.

Installation & Connectivity

Setup includes everything needed: mounting screws, springs, wiring diagrams, and a 14-foot low-capacitance studio-quality cable that preserves high-end detail during transmission. The pickup mounts directly into the sound hole—no modifications required on compatible instruments. Get this on your acoustic and plug straight into your interface or mixer.
