Seymour Duncan SSL-6 Custom Flat for Strat RWRP Pickup

Seymour Duncan SSL-6 Custom Flat for Strat RWRP Pickup

The SSL-6 Custom Flat delivers a punchy, articulate single-coil voice with excellent clarity and controlled output that cuts through on stage and holds its own in the mix. This reverse wound/reverse polarity (RWRP) configuration is engineered for the middle position, eliminating hum when paired with standard pickups in positions 2 and 4. Built to exacting standards by Seymour Duncan, this pickup combines vintage sensibility with contemporary voicing for players who demand definition without sacrificing character.

Tone & Output Characteristics

The 13.3k ohm DC resistance and hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets with flat pattern geometry produce a bright, punchy tone with excellent articulation and note separation. This output level sits comfortably between classic single-coils and overwound designs, providing clarity and punch without losing the natural Stratocaster sparkle that experienced players expect. On a gig, the SSL-6 Custom Flat holds definition in busier mix environments while maintaining the responsiveness and dynamic feel that makes single-coil guitars reliable stage tools.

Construction & Materials

Each pickup features hand-built Forbon bobbins dipped in lacquer, wound to specification, and wax potted for microphonic stability and consistent performance across venues and conditions. The 2-conductor wiring simplifies installation while the included white Seymour Duncan logo cover and mounting screws complete the package for a straightforward retrofit or new build.
