Description
Seymour Duncan STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus Strat Parchment Pickup
The STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus captures genuine single-coil character without the hum—a noiseless design that preserves the clarity and snap essential to tracking clean guitars and layered Strat textures while eliminating 60-cycle noise. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup excels in studio sessions demanding articulate, noise-free recordings across both maple and rosewood fingerboards. The parchment cover integrates seamlessly with aged or cream-colored instrument aesthetics.
Tone & Magnetic Design
Symmetrically staggered, sand-cast Alnico 5 pole pieces paired with Alnico 5 rod magnets deliver punchy midrange definition with natural breakup that sits well in dense mixes. A resonant peak at 4.85 kHz emphasizes articulation and presence in the vocal-frequency range, while the EQ curve (7 Bass / 4 Mid / 5 Treble) balances brightness with usable midrange—ideal for clean tones, layered rhythms, and overdriven textures in production.
Engineering & Build Quality
Wax-potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring stable, transparent performance across all recording takes and gain-staged mixing chains. The three-conductor cable accommodates coil-split wiring for maximum session versatility, while hand-assembly in Santa Barbara guarantees consistent quality backed by a one-year limited warranty.
