Description
Seymour Duncan Hot Chicken Strat Stack Neck Black Pickup
The Hot Chicken Strat Stack captures aggressive output and clarity in the neck position—ideal for recording sessions where single-coil character matters but 60-cycle hum doesn't. This stacked-coil design maintains authentic Stratocaster dimensions while eliminating the noise floor issues that compromise traditional single-coils, making it a versatile choice for tracking across classic rock, blues, and modern styles in the studio without compromise.
Tone & Recording Character
A DC resistance of 22.4K positions this pickup in the hot range, offering substantial midrange presence and articulate treble definition that cuts through dense mixes. The A5 chamfered rod magnets contribute focused magnetic field characteristics that emphasize note separation and sustain—critical for capturing defined neck-position tones during layering and overdubs.
Studio Integration & Setup
The stacked-coil architecture eliminates 60-cycle hum without routing or modification to any standard Stratocaster-sized pickup slot, streamlining session workflow. Inclusion of a 4-conductor shielded cable supports versatile wiring options and clean signal transmission to your recording chain, minimizing noise floor during tracking and mixing.
