Seymour Duncan SDBR-1n Duckbuckers for Strat White Pickup

Seymour Duncan SDBR-1n Duckbuckers Neck Pickup for Strat – White

The Seymour Duncan SDBR-1n Duckbuckers neck pickup captures the clarity and articulation of a vintage single-coil in humbucker-sized format, eliminating hum without sacrificing the sparkle and definition essential for tracking and mixing great Strat tones. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with careful attention to output balance, this pickup sits perfectly in the neck position to deliver warm, vocal sustain while maintaining the character that defines traditional offset guitar tracking. The white cover and split-pole design provide both visual distinction and sonic precision that works equally well in period-correct sessions or modern hybrid production setups.

Tone & Electronics

Vintage output and single-coil-sized construction ensure this humbucker integrates seamlessly with bridge and middle pickups in your recording rig, creating a cohesive tonal palette across all positions. The 4-conductor lead wire enables series wiring via push/pull switch or mini-toggle, letting you dial in a hotter humbucker tone during mixing or re-amping without permanent modification to your session instrument.

Design & Build

Each pickup is wax potted for noise-free recording and tracking, and the split-pole pattern with three pole pieces on each coil ensures controlled magnetic field and consistent response across the string set for transparent, detailed capture. Six fully adjustable pole pieces with the signature split blade design allow fine-tuning of individual string balance and output for precise tracking and layering in the mix.
