Description
Seymour Duncan STK-S4 Classic Stack Plus Set Black Cover Pickup
The STK-S4 Classic Stack Plus captures articulate, noise-free single-coil tones with the clarity and definition essential for modern recording. This set combines traditional Strat voicing with intelligent hum-cancellation design, enabling clean tracking and mixing without the 60-cycle hum that compromises standard single coils in the studio environment.
Tonal Character & Recording Response
The neck and middle pickups voice at 5.7 kHz and 5.2 kHz respectively, capturing the articulate midrange and presence peak that cuts through in a mix without muddiness. With a balanced EQ profile of Bass 5 / Mid 4 / Treble 8, these pickups emphasize clarity and definition while maintaining warmth in dense arrangements; the Alnico V magnet and sand-cast Alnico 5 pole pieces deliver organic harmonic richness and responsive dynamics that translate well to multitrack sessions.
Design & Studio Specifications
Each pickup measures 0.995" (25.27mm) in height and fits standard Strat cavities without modification, simplifying installation in existing instruments. The middle pickup features Reverse Wind/Reverse Polarity (RW/RP) winding for automatic hum-cancellation when combined with the neck or bridge pickup, while three-conductor cabling allows splitting the middle pickup for true single-coil operation when layering different voicings across takes or tracks.
