Seymour Duncan Strat Single-Coils

Seymour Duncan Strat Single-Coil Pickups

For a home studio, the pickups in a Strat decide what reaches the microphone or interface. The Seymour Duncan Strat Single-Coils family at Studio Gears gives you distinct tonal options for tracking: SSL-1 California '50s, SSL-2 Vintage Flat, SSL-3 Hot, SSL-6 Custom Flat and SSL52 Five-Two.

Think about where each sound could sit in a mix. Vintage Flat and California '50s are named for classic Strat voicing, which suits clean rhythm parts and chiming layers. SSL-3 Hot points to a higher-output option for pushing amps and pedals. SSL-6 Custom Flat is another modern-leaning voice to try on sessions. Calibrated sets match the pickups across all positions, which helps keep your tone consistent from one take to the next.

Single pickups are listed too, so you can swap one position or experiment with a middle RWRP unit. With prices ranging from under $100 to nearly $300, a pickup change is an affordable way to widen your tracking palette without buying another guitar.

Wiring: factory lead wiring varies by model. Each product page states whether that pickup ships 1-conductor or 4-conductor; where a 4-conductor version is not the stock build it is a special order (about 3 weeks, extra cost).

Seymour Duncan Strat Single-Coils - frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the SSL-2 Vintage Flat, SSL-3 Hot and SSL-6 Custom Flat?

The names point to the voicing. Vintage Flat and California '50s lean toward classic Strat tone, Hot signals a stronger output, and Custom Flat suggests a more modern take. Pick the model that fits whether you want a faithful vintage sound or something hotter for your Stratocaster-style guitar.

What does RWRP mean on a Strat single-coil pickup?

RWRP stands for reverse-wound, reverse-polarity, and it refers to the middle pickup in a set. Some listings are also labeled Calibrated, which relates to matching pickups across positions. Both labels appear on SSL-2, SSL-3 and SSL-6 options, so check the listing title before you choose.

Can I buy one pickup or do I need a full set, and do Five-Two pickups match my pickguard?

Most models are offered as complete sets, and some are sold as individual pickups for a single position. The range runs from affordable single pickups to premium full sets. Five-Two sets come in black and white, so you can match them to your pickguard. Free shipping within the US applies.
