Seymour Duncan SSL-3 Hot for Strat RWRP Pickup

Seymour Duncan SSL-3 Hot for Strat RWRP Pickup

The SSL-3 Hot cuts through the mix with aggressive, high-output single-coil character and a muscular magnetic field. Built with reverse wound/reverse polarity construction for middle-position use, it eliminates hum when paired with neck or bridge pickups—essential for gigging players who need clarity and power without losing the classic Strat voice on stage.

Tone & Output

At 15.8k ohms DCR output with hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets, this pickup generates a stronger, deeper magnetic field than standard single coils. The raised flat pole pieces give you articulation that reads as a true single-coil—no thick mud—while delivering the punch and sustain that cuts in live rooms and studio takes.

Build Quality & Design

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, the SSL-3 Hot features custom high-output coil winding, lacquered hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets, and wax potting for squeal-free, reliable performance night after night. The included white Seymour Duncan logo cover keeps the classic look intact while protecting the coil from road wear.
