Description
Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus, White Pickup
The Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus is a high-output stacked humbucker engineered to capture articulate, punchy tone without sacrificing clarity across the frequency spectrum. This white-covered pickup delivers both aggressive gain and note definition, making it well-suited for tracking and mixing sessions where power and string separation are essential to your final mix.
Tone & Character
With a DC resistance of 14.45 kΩ and a resonant peak at 4.85 kHz, this pickup produces a balanced midrange presence that cuts through a mix while maintaining warmth in the low end. The EQ curve of 7/4/5 (Bass/Mid/Treble) emphasizes bass response and treble articulation, positioning this model as a versatile tool for rock, metal, and alternative production work where recorded clarity matters.
Recording Performance & Build
Built with Alnico V rod magnets and symmetrically staggered, sand-cast Alnico 5 pole pieces in the top coil, this pickup achieves consistent string-to-string response and vintage-inflected harmonic complexity ideal for detailed tracking. The compact 0.995" height ensures straightforward installation in most offset single-coil cavities, while the three-conductor cable provides standard series-split wiring options for flexible signal routing in your studio setup.
