Description
Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Black Pickup Set
The Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Black set delivers warm, articulate tone that sits solidly in a live mix without fighting for space. These underwound single coils emphasize midrange depth and low-end presence while maintaining the articulation and snap needed to cut through at stage volume. The set suits players seeking a balanced response that breathes room for other instruments instead of pushing the overbright edge.
Tonal Character & Output
Built with Alnico V magnets, these pickups produce a naturally compressed, slightly scooped frequency response that works well in ensemble settings and band contexts. The underwound design keeps output moderate and responsive to pick dynamics, while the elevated pole pieces add presence and definition for reliable on-stage projection without harshness.
Installation & Compatibility
This is a direct drop-in replacement set for any standard Stratocaster pickup cavity. Each coil ships with single-conductor cloth cable, allowing flexible shielding and wiring configurations to suit your guitar's electronics and preferences.
