Seymour Duncan SA-3SC Single Coil Woody, Black Pickup

The SA-3SC Woody is a passive soundhole pickup engineered to capture acoustic resonance with clarity and minimal feedback. Its compact black stained wood housing mounts cleanly into steel-string guitars without compromising aesthetics or altering the instrument's natural vibration. This is a straightforward transducer designed for home studios and live recording sessions that demand honest amplification of acoustic tone.

Design & Construction

Built with double potted construction, this single-coil design resists feedback and microphonic noise—essential for close-miked recording and studio tracking. The black stained wood housing fits sound holes between 3.75″ to 4.0″ (94–100mm), and the entire assembly is manufactured in Santa Barbara, California to exacting standards.

Installation & Connectivity

Setup includes everything needed for immediate recording: mounting screws, springs, wiring diagrams, and a 14-foot low-capacitance studio-quality cable that preserves high-end detail through the signal chain into your interface. The pickup mounts directly into the sound hole—no modifications required on compatible instruments.
