Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Bridge White Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Bridge delivers a distinctive midrange scoop that carves definition in your mix without sacrificing articulation or clarity. This underwound single-coil bridges the gap between vintage Strat character and modern punch, making it ideal for recording sessions where bridge-position clarity matters—without excessive treble harshness cluttering your tracks.
Tone & Output Character
The Alnico 5 magnet paired with an underwound '50s-style design and extended pole piece heights creates a presence that cuts through dense arrangements while maintaining the classic single-coil voice. A DCR of 7.23k at the bridge position ensures balanced output with articulate highs and defined lows, ideal for capturing clean tones and moderate gain applications during tracking and layering.
Construction & Compatibility
This passive pickup features a cloth push-back cable for reliable signal transmission and straightforward wiring into your studio setup. The bridge-specific design integrates seamlessly into existing Strat electronics without modification, offering a direct upgrade path for refining your bridge-position tone in the recording chain.
