Seymour Duncan STK-S9b Hot Stack Plus Cream Pickup

The STK-S9b Hot Stack Plus delivers aggressive, articulate output in a compact single-coil footprint without the hum that typically plagues bridge positions. This stacked-coil design maintains the bright, punchy character players expect from a hot bridge pickup while eliminating unwanted noise—ideal for high-gain contexts where clarity matters as much as aggression.

Tone & Output Character

With a DC resistance of 20.26 kΩ and Alnico V rod magnets, this pickup produces the hot, defined response suited to rock, metal, and blues-rock applications. The resonant peak of 3.23 kHz combined with an EQ curve of 5 Bass / 7 Midrange / 4 Treble emphasizes articulate midrange punch while maintaining clarity across the frequency spectrum.

Design & Installation

Built in cream-colored housing, the STK-S9b maintains aesthetic consistency with vintage-style Strat builds. The included three-conductor hook-up cable enables true single-coil mode switching, giving players the flexibility to toggle between full output and a classic single-coil voice.
