Seymour Duncan STK-S4n Stack Plus for Strat Black Pickup
The STK-S4n Stack Plus delivers a compact, articulate single-coil voice without the noise typical of traditional Strat pickups. This neck-position specialist uses a stacked coil design to achieve genuine single-coil character while maintaining the hum-canceling benefits of a humbucker footprint. Built for gigging musicians and studio players who demand clarity and definition in their neck position without sacrificing the authentic single-coil response that cuts through a mix on stage.
Tone & Electronics
The pickup's 9.62 kΩ DC resistance and 5.7 kHz resonant peak create a presence-focused tone with articulate upper-midrange definition that sits well in a live band mix. The EQ curve of 5 / 4 / 8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) emphasizes brightness while maintaining a balanced low end, making it responsive to both clean and driven applications in real-world performance. Hand ground Alnico V rod magnets deliver the classic warmth and naturalness that defines Seymour Duncan's sonic signature, ensuring reliable tonal consistency across multiple gigs.
Design & Build
Construction includes wax potting for squeal-free performance and reliable long-term stability through road wear and repeated use. The splittable 3-conductor lead wire enables true single-coil operation when needed, providing maximum versatility in wiring configurations and allowing players to dial in exactly the tone they need. All components are engineered to fit standard Strat neck-position cavities while maintaining professional build quality throughout for dependable ownership.
