Seymour Duncan STK-S4b Stack Plus Strat Parchment Pickup

Seymour Duncan STK-S4b Stack Plus Strat Parchment Bridge Pickup

The STK-S4b Stack Plus delivers the clarity and snap of a vintage single-coil bridge pickup without the hum that traditionally plagues Strat bridge positions. Built with hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets and wax potting, this pickup produces articulate highs and punchy mids while maintaining the single-coil character players expect. The splittable lead design grants true single-coil operation when needed, making this a versatile choice for players who demand both noise-free operation and authentic tone on stage.

Tone & Electronics

The 8.5 DCR specification positions this pickup in the classic range, delivering brightness and definition ideal for bridge-position work across rock, country, and blues applications. Alnico 5 magnets provide natural articulation with responsive harmonic content, while the wax-potted construction eliminates feedback and squealing without coloring the signal—essential for reliable live performance.

Design & Build

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup uses traditional construction methods combined with modern noise-canceling stack technology. The 3-conductor shielded cable ensures clean signal transmission to your amp, and the splittable lead configuration allows you to switch between humbucking and true single-coil modes depending on your playing situation and stage demands.
