Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus, Cream Pickup vs Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stk Plus Strat Parchment Pickup

Both are essentially the same STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus pickup with identical electrical specs and tone character—the difference is purely cosmetic finish and mounting format. Choose Cream if you prefer a neck/middle position in traditional offset designs; choose Parchment Strat if you need a direct Stratocaster replacement with period-correct aesthetics.

No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Why choose Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus, Cream Pickup

  • Cream finish matches classic and modern aesthetics flexibly
  • Generic stacked humbucker format works in multiple guitar types
  • Identical 4.85 kHz articulation and 7/4/5 EQ curve

Why choose Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stk Plus Strat Parchment Pickup

  • Purpose-built Strat format with specified 0.995" height for drop-in compatibility
  • Parchment finish suits aged or vintage-styled instruments
  • Hand-assembled in Santa Barbara with explicit one-year warranty noted
  • Symmetrically staggered pole pieces emphasized for Strat-specific balance
Bottom line: If you own a Stratocaster and need a direct replacement pickup, choose the Parchment Strat model for guaranteed fit and period-correct looks. If you have an offset guitar (Jazzmaster, Jaguar, or semi-hollow) or want a neck position upgrade in any guitar, the Cream generic humbucker offers the same tone with broader compatibility.
