Seymour Duncan SDBR-1n Duckbuckers for Strat Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan SDBR-1n Duckbuckers for Strat Black Neck Pickup

The Seymour Duncan SDBR-1n delivers a balanced, articulate single-coil character without the hum—a single-coil sized humbucker engineered specifically for Stratocaster neck positions. This pickup maintains the clarity and dynamics you expect from vintage-output designs while eliminating the 60-cycle noise that plagues traditional single-coil setups, keeping your tone pristine whether you're tracking in the studio or pushing it through a live rig.

Tone & Electronics

Built with a ceramic bar magnet and a distinctive split-pole pattern featuring three pole pieces on each coil, this pickup generates vintage output that sits naturally in a Strat's neck position. Wax potting ensures squeal-free operation, preserving the pickup's tonal purity and reliability in any environment—especially critical for touring musicians and those who demand consistent performance night after night.

Design & Build

The SDBR-1n is a true drop-in replacement for standard Stratocaster single-coil routing—no modifications required. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, each unit features six fully adjustable pole pieces and a 4-conductor lead wire that opens up multiple wiring configurations to suit your exact tonal needs. Built to withstand the demands of gigging and road use without any fuss or downtime.
