Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Neck Cream Pickup
The Scooped Strat Neck captures a warm, vintage-focused tone with enhanced midrange articulation that sits beautifully in neck position within a mix. This cream-colored pickup bridges classic '50s character with refined modern construction, delivering that scooped, full-bodied neck voice with the clarity needed to cut through without muddying your recordings.
Tone & Recording Performance
Built with Alnico 5 magnets and an underwound '50s-style design, this pickup produces a naturally compressed, vintage tone with pronounced midrange presence ideal for session work. The extended pole pieces provide increased output and responsive dynamics across the fretboard, while the slightly higher pole height ensures balanced capture and consistency when recording parts near the neck joint.
