Seymour Duncan STK-S4m Stack Plus for Strat Cream Pickup
The STK-S4m Stack Plus captures articulate, vintage-voiced single-coil character without the hum that compromises recordings with traditional Strat pickups. Hand-built with a patented noiseless design, this middle-position pickup excels in tracking lead lines and rhythm work across blues, classic rock, and country sessions where clarity and noise-free tracking are essential to a clean final mix.
Tone & Recording Character
Powered by hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets, this pickup produces a vintage-output response with natural articulation and warmth that sits beautifully in a mix. The 8.6k DCR and patented bottom coil design inject negative hum into the circuit for effective hum cancellation while the wax-potted construction eliminates squeal and microphonic feedback, delivering clean, reliable takes across multiple session hours.
Build & Studio Integration
Constructed entirely in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup features a splittable 3-conductor lead wire enabling true single-coil operation for expanded tonal palette within your tracking sessions. The Strat mount design ensures precise alignment in standard middle-position cavities, while the noiseless architecture maintains authentic single-coil tone for consistent, hybrid-free recordings.
