Seymour Duncan STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus, Cream Pickup

Seymour Duncan STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus Pickup, Cream

The STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus sits right in the sweet spot between vintage single-coil articulation and modern stage-ready output. This cream-colored pickup cuts through live mixes with clarity and snap, handling everything from spanky cleans to pushed gain tones without muddying your tone or losing definition when the band's playing loud.

Tone & Output Characteristics

A 4.5 kHz resonant peak ensures your pick attack and note definition stay audible even in dense stage settings, while the 11.9 kΩ DC resistance and Alnico V rod magnets deliver moderate-to-hot output with genuine dynamic response—your playing technique still shows through. The EQ curve of 7/5/5 (Bass/Mid/Treble) prioritizes clarity and presence over bloat, keeping your tone focused and punchy in a live rig.

Design & Construction

Hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, this pickup uses Alnico V rod magnets and wax potting to stay rock-solid through gigs—no microphonic squealing to derail your performance. The three-conductor tappable lead wire lets you split into true single-coil mode on the fly, giving you tonal versatility across different songs and settings without swapping gear.
