Seymour Duncan SSL-5L Custom Staggered Strat RWRP Lft Pickup

Seymour Duncan SSL-5L Custom Staggered Strat RWRP Left Pickup

The SSL-5L Custom Staggered delivers articulate, punchy single-coil tone with controlled output and minimal noise—built for left-handed players who need a dependable middle-position pickup that cuts through live and handles studio work equally well. Hand-crafted with vintage-informed construction and modern winding techniques, this reverse wound reverse polarity design pairs seamlessly with standard-wound pickups to eliminate hum in multi-pickup configurations, a critical feature for gigging musicians relying on consistent, noise-free performance night after night.

Tone & Output Character

Built on hand-ground Alnico V rod magnets with a 13.3K DC resistance, the SSL-5L produces a balanced, articulate voice—tighter and more focused than vintage designs yet retaining classic single-coil character. The wax-potted construction tames microphonic feedback while preserving natural resonance, making this pickup equally reliable in classic rock, country, and contemporary styles—live stages included.

Construction & Specifications

The Forbon flatwork bobbin with modern oval design houses lacquered magnets for consistent output and durability you can trust night after night. RWRP winding ensures hum cancellation when paired with standard-wound neck and bridge pickups—essential for touring and venue work where electrical interference is always a factor—while the covered configuration in white reduces electromagnetic interference without sacrificing high-end clarity.
