Seymour Duncan SSL-1L Vintage Staggered Lft Calibrated Set Pickup

Seymour Duncan SSL-1L Vintage Staggered Left-Handed Calibrated Set Pickup

This SSL-1L Vintage Staggered Left-Handed Calibrated Set delivers the articulate, balanced character of classic Strat tones with hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets and heavy Formvar wire. Built specifically for left-handed players, the staggered magnet configuration optimizes string-to-string response across the fretboard. The calibrated set arrives complete with matched potentiometers and capacitors, eliminating guesswork in installation and ensuring cohesive performance across all three pickups.

Tone & Stage Response

A 10 kHz resonant peak with 5/3/9 EQ (Bass/Mid/Treble) produces a bright, articulate voice with controlled warmth—the kind of definition that cuts through a live mix without harshness. The 6.5 kΩ DC resistance balances output and responsiveness, maintaining authentic vintage single-coil character while delivering the amplification needed for gig-ready performance across any venue.

Construction & Reliability

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA and potted in wax formulation, these pickups arrive ready to install with a white cover, waxed cloth hookup cable, and vintage-style "keyed" bottom plate for secure mounting. The set includes a standard wound neck pickup, standard wound bridge pickup, and a RWRP (reverse wind reverse polarity) middle pickup for hum cancellation in combined positions—a proven design that keeps noise out of the signal chain during performances.
