Frequently asked questions
Can I use both together in the same guitar?
Yes. The Hendrix neck/middle pair can be combined with a third bridge pickup to complete a three-pickup setup. However, the STK-S2b is a single bridge pickup, so it would replace your bridge position entirely rather than pair with the Hendrix set.
Which is better for blues and funk?
The Jimi Hendrix Signature is specifically voiced for blues, rock, and funk with warm, articulate response and vintage character. The STK-S2b is designed for hard rock and metal, making it less suited to traditional blues and funk applications.
What's the output difference, and why does it matter?
The Hendrix neck/middle pickups measure 6.07 ohms DCR for balanced vintage output; the STK-S2b bridge is 19.90 kΩ, delivering substantially higher gain and presence. Higher output means more signal drive to your amp, which is preferred for hard rock and metal but unnecessary for classic blues tone.
Are these handmade and reliable?
Both are Seymour Duncan products made to professional standards. The STK-S2b is explicitly handmade in Santa Barbara, California; the Hendrix set features cloth push-back cables and Alnico 5 construction typical of Seymour Duncan's quality benchmarks.
