Seymour Duncan STK-S4b Stack Plus for Strat Cream Pickup

The STK-S4b Stack Plus delivers articulate, vintage-voiced clarity without the hum that plagued single-coil designs. This cream-colored bridge pickup combines Seymour Duncan's noiseless stack technology with classic Alnico 5 warmth, making it ideal for gigging players who want authentic single-coil character with modern noise rejection. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, the pickup performs reliably across classic rock, blues, and vintage-leaning styles—both in the studio and on stage.

Tone & Construction

The vintage output and hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets produce balanced, articulate highs with natural sustain—characteristic of traditional bridge pickups without artificial brightness. Wax potting ensures stability and reduces microphonic feedback during live performance, while the 3-conductor shielded cable allows flexible wiring options and hum cancellation when properly installed.

Design & Specifications

At 8.5k DC resistance, this pickup sits comfortably in the vintage single-coil range, delivering responsive dynamics without excessive output compression. The noiseless stack design eliminates 60-cycle hum while preserving the sonic character that made single-coil Strats iconic—essential for reliable stage use without unwanted noise.
