Description
Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Bridge Parchment Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Bridge delivers a characteristically scooped midrange with articulate highs and punchy lows, cutting through on stage with clarity and presence in bridge position. This parchment-colored unit matches vintage-styled instruments while providing modern tonal flexibility. Built with Seymour Duncan's proven construction methods, it performs with the definition expected from a professional-grade replacement pickup.
Tonal Character & Magnet Selection
Powered by an Alnico V magnet, this pickup produces strong output with extended dynamic range and natural compression that sits well in a live mix. The scooped design emphasizes the low and high frequencies while recessing mids, creating separation for rhythm work and lead passages alike—ideal for gigging musicians who need their tone to stand out in a full band context.
Construction & Wiring
The underwound '50s-style design with extended pole pieces balances vintage authenticity with controlled output, while the single conductor cloth cable maintains classic aesthetics without compromising signal integrity. A measured DC resistance of 7.23k ohms ensures compatibility with standard Strat wiring and typical tube amp setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'scooped midrange' mean for my tone?
The scooped design emphasizes low and high frequencies while recessing mids, creating clarity and presence in lead passages while leaving room for other instruments in a mix. This character works well for blues, rock, and funk but is less suited to metal or thrash styles that rely on midrange punch.
Will this pickup work with my existing Strat wiring?
Yes—the pickup has 7.23k ohms DC resistance and standard Strat-compatible mounting, designed to drop into a bridge position on any Strat-style guitar. It ships with a single conductor cloth cable for classic aesthetics and reliable signal delivery.
How does the Alnico V magnet affect output and sustain?
The Alnico V magnet produces strong output with extended dynamic range and natural compression, allowing notes to sustain and sit warmly in a mix without breakup or excessive noise. This balance suits both studio tracking and live gigging.
Is this pickup good for both studio and gigging?
Yes—the controlled output, articulate response, and warm character make it equally at home recording in a studio or performing live. The underwound '50s-style design and Seymour Duncan construction are built to perform reliably night after night.
