Description
Seymour Duncan Hot Chicken Strat Stack Bridge OW Pickup
The Hot Chicken Strat Stack delivers aggressive, articulate bridge-position tone in a compact stacked-coil format that fits standard single-coil cavities without modification. This pickup cuts through a mix with clarity and punch while maintaining the single-coil Strat character, making it a direct drop-in replacement for tracking and mixing sessions that demand hotter output without sacrificing definition and note separation.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The 23.72k Ω DC resistance and stacked-coil architecture produce a high-output signal with enhanced midrange presence and treble articulation ideal for capturing rock, blues, and lead performances. The A5 chamfered rod magnets contribute focused, punchy response that translates well through overdrive and distortion on playback while remaining responsive to pick dynamics at cleaner settings, giving you full control over recorded tone from light to heavy compression.
Construction & Design
Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA using four-conductor wiring for maximum wiring flexibility and tonal shaping options in the studio. The stacked-coil design eliminates 60-cycle hum entirely, delivering the noise-free operation essential for high-gain tracking and layering without compromising single-coil aesthetics or cavity compatibility, so your recordings stay clean and focused.
