Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus Strat Parchment Pickup

The STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus delivers genuine single-coil character without the hum—a noiseless design that maintains the clarity and snap of a vintage Strat while eliminating 60-cycle noise. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup excels on stage and in the studio for players who demand articulate, noise-free performance across both maple and rosewood fingerboards. The parchment cover integrates seamlessly with aged or cream-colored instrument aesthetics.

Tone & Magnetic Design

Symmetrically staggered, sand-cast Alnico 5 pole pieces paired with Alnico 5 rod magnets create punchy midrange definition with natural breakup. A resonant peak at 4.85 kHz emphasizes articulation and presence, while the EQ curve (7 Bass / 4 Mid / 5 Treble) balances brightness with usable midrange—ideal for clean tones and overdriven textures alike on any gig or in the studio.

Live Reliability & Construction

Wax-potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring stable, transparent performance night after night. The three-conductor cable accommodates coil-split wiring for maximum tonal versatility, while hand-assembly in Santa Barbara guarantees consistent quality backed by a one-year limited warranty.
