Seymour Duncan STK-S2b Hot Stack for Strat Black Pickup

The STK-S2b Hot Stack delivers aggressive, high-output performance in a single-coil-sized footprint, making it an ideal drop-in replacement for bridge positions on Stratocasters. This stacked-coil design packs serious punch without requiring route modifications, giving you a dramatic tonal upgrade while maintaining compatibility with standard single-coil cavities.

Design & Construction

Built with a double-coil stacked design and blade magnet construction, the STK-S2b achieves high output while eliminating the hum that plagues traditional single coils. The wax potting ensures squeal-free operation under high gain, a critical feature for bridge pickups that see intense picking dynamics on stage and in the studio.
