Description
Seymour Duncan STK-P1b P90 Soapbar Stack Cream Pickup
The STK-P1b brings authentic P90 character into a compact soapbar format with modern stacked-coil engineering. Voiced for the bridge position, this pickup balances the classic warmth and midrange that players expect from a P90 with genuine hum-canceling performance—no noise floor compromises. The cream cover provides both vintage appeal and durable protection for the coil assembly, fitting cleanly into contemporary and classic guitar aesthetics alike.
Tone & Output Characteristics
Powered by an Alnico V magnet and 31.6k ohms DC resistance, the STK-P1b delivers medium output that sits solidly in a live mix—clear and defined on clean channels, with enough grit for pushing amp breakup and saturated lead tones. The stacked coil design kills 60-cycle hum while keeping the midrange punch and harmonic richness that make P90s stage workhorses across genres.
Construction & Reliability
Wax potted construction locks everything in place for road-tested stability across temperature and humidity swings—essential for touring and regular gigging. The four-conductor lead wire opens up wiring options for coil-splitting or other mod work, and the included wiring diagram handles installation into most bridge cavities without fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does stacked-coil mean, and how does it affect tone?
Stacked-coil engineering pairs the coils vertically to cancel 60-cycle hum while preserving the midrange punch and harmonic complexity that define P90 tone. You get classic P90 character without the noise floor issues of traditional single-coil designs.
Is this pickup suitable for metal or heavy genres?
No—the STK-P1b is voiced for blues, rock, jazz, indie, and home recording. Its medium output and articulate character are not optimized for metal or thrash metal applications.
What guitar does this fit, and what about installation?
The STK-P1b is designed for bridge position in soapbar-routed instruments (guitars with soapbar cavities, not traditional single-coil routes). It includes a wiring diagram and four-conductor lead wire to simplify installation into most existing electronics configurations.
How does the medium output level compare to other P90s?
At 31.6k ohms DC resistance, the STK-P1b delivers medium output that remains articulate on clean tones while providing enough gain to drive overdrive and distortion effectively. It sits naturally in a mix without overpowering other instruments.
Will this pickup work in varying live and studio conditions?
Yes—wax-potted construction and stacked-coil design ensure long-term reliability and microphonic stability across changing temperature and humidity, making it dependable for touring, venue work, and studio sessions.
