Description
Seymour Duncan Trembucker PA-STK1N Parallel Axis Stack Neck/Middle Pickup
The Trembucker PA-STK1N captures articulate, controlled output with the extended frequency response needed for precision neck and middle position recording. Its dual-pole stack design provides added sustain while the parallel axis configuration maintains clarity across the full dynamic range. This is a purpose-built pickup for tracking sessions where definition and transparency sit at the foundation of great recordings.
Tone & Electronics
With 6.8 kΩ resistance and a 6.4 kHz resonant peak, this pickup achieves a balanced EQ curve—5 (Bass) / 2 (Mid) / 9 (Treble)—that emphasizes articulation while controlling midrange bloom. The ceramic bar magnet and Stack® hum-canceling technology eliminate 60-cycle noise without sacrificing output, delivering clean, usable signal for both clean and driven tones in the mix.
Design & Build
Vacuum wax potted construction ensures squeal-free operation across any gain staging or amp chain scenario. The 4-conductor wire enables multiple wiring configurations for session flexibility, while the included four-conductor hookup cable simplifies installation and swaps. Hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup combines traditional manufacturing with modern hum-rejection engineering for studio reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this pickup different from a standard single-coil in the neck position?
The PA-STK1N uses dual-pole stack and parallel axis design to deliver hum-canceling clarity without the midrange bloom typical of neck pickups. Its 6.4 kHz resonant peak emphasizes articulation and treble (9/10) while controlling midrange (2/10), making it grip better in mixes and cleaner on recording.
Is this pickup suitable for metal and heavily saturated tones?
No; the PA-STK1N is optimized for articulate, controlled output and is best suited to precision lead work, clean tones, and driven rock. Its balanced EQ and treble emphasis make it less ideal for thick, saturated metal tones.
What's included and what do I need to install it?
The pickup comes with a four-conductor hookup cable and supports multiple wiring configurations thanks to its 4-conductor wire. Standard soldering tools and knowledge of your guitar's electronics are required; consult your guitar's wiring diagram for proper integration.
Will this pickup work in any guitar, or are there size constraints?
The PA-STK1N is a Trembucker size (3.00 in width) and is intended for neck and middle positions. Confirm your guitar's pickup cavity dimensions match Trembucker spacing before purchasing.
How does Stack® hum-canceling compare to other noise-rejection methods?
Stack® technology eliminates 60-cycle hum without sacrificing output or tone, and vacuum wax potting adds squeal-free operation across any amplifier setting. This combination makes it dependable for both studio and live use.
