Seymour Duncan STK-S4n Stack Plus for Strat White Pickup
The STK-S4n Stack Plus delivers articulate, chimey single-coil character with genuine hum cancellation that doesn't compromise on clarity or responsiveness. Built for the neck position, this pickup excels in live settings where noiseless performance matters but traditional single-coil definition must remain intact—critical for clean rhythm tones and sustaining leads on stage.
Tone & Electronics
Hand-wound with Alnico 5 rod magnets and measuring 8.7k ohms DC resistance, this pickup produces balanced, focused output ideal for gigging players working rhythm and lead parts in any genre. The special bottom coil design injects negative hum into the pickup circuit, achieving genuine noise cancellation while preserving the transparent, responsive character that cuts through a live mix without feedback or unwanted noise.
Design & Build
Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA and wax potted for squeal-free performance under stage conditions, the STK-S4n Stack Plus incorporates a splittable 3-conductor lead wire for true single-coil operation when needed. The 4-conductor shielded cable ensures clean signal transmission and gives you flexible wiring options in any Strat configuration, keeping your rig dependable night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this pickup work in my Strat, and what wiring options does it have?
Yes, the STK-S4n Stack Plus is built for Strat neck position mounting. It includes a 3-conductor splittable lead wire and 4-conductor shielded cable, giving you the flexibility to wire it as a noiseless humbucking design or split it for true single-coil operation depending on your setup and sound preference.
What makes this pickup different from a regular noiseless Strat pickup?
The STK-S4n Stack Plus uses a special bottom-coil design that injects negative hum directly into the pickup circuit to achieve genuine noise cancellation. Unlike passive shielding, this approach preserves the transparent, responsive character and articulate, chimey tone you expect from a quality single-coil neck pickup.
Is this pickup suitable for metal or high-gain music?
No, this pickup is voiced specifically for blues, rock, country, and studio sessions. Its balanced, focused output and single-coil character make it less suited for metal or djent applications where thicker, more aggressive tones are typically needed.
How is this pickup built, and will it stay quiet under load?
The STK-S4n Stack Plus is hand-wound in Santa Barbara with hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets, wax potted for squeal-free performance, and features a 4-conductor shielded cable for clean signal transmission. These construction details ensure reliable, noise-free operation in any gigging or studio environment.
What skill level do I need to install and use this pickup?
This pickup is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Installation requires soldering and familiarity with Strat wiring, and getting the best tone from its splittable design benefits from some pickup knowledge.
