Description
Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack Tele Pickup Set
The Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack Tele Pickup Set captures warm, articulate tone with the compact footprint of a stacked-coil design—no router modifications needed. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using Alnico 5 magnets and traditional wax-potting, this set pairs a vintage-voiced neck pickup with a punchy bridge unit, ideal for tracking and mixing sessions that demand classic Telecaster character with hum-canceling performance in the box and on tape.
Tone & Electronics
The stacked coil design places two coils one atop the other, wired out of phase to eliminate 60-cycle hum while preserving open, vintage-style articulation that sits cleanly in dense arrangements. Bridge resonance peaks at 7.5 kHz with selectable impedance options—9k split or 18k full—while the neck peaks at 7.3 kHz with 7.9k split or 15.88k full settings, giving your productions tonal flexibility across multiple wiring configurations for different tracking approaches.
Design & Build
Constructed with Alnico 5 rod magnets, a deep-drawn chrome-plated cover on the neck pickup, and wax potting for squeal-free operation, these pickups are engineered for consistent, reliable tracking performance. The four-conductor lead wire enables flexible switching schemes for adapting tone to different session requirements, and the direct Tele format ensures straightforward installation in any standard 6-string Telecaster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does stacked-coil design do, and why does it matter?
Stacked coils place two coils vertically, wired out of phase to cancel 60-cycle hum while preserving open, vintage Telecaster articulation. This means you get hum-free quiet operation without sacrificing the bright, punchy tone that makes single-coil Teles sound great on stage and in the studio.
Will this fit my standard Telecaster without modifications?
Yes. This is a direct replacement for any standard 6-string Telecaster format—no routing required. The set includes the neck (STK-T1n) and bridge (STK-T3b) pickups with four-conductor lead wire for flexible wiring configuration.
What tone genres and styles is this set best suited for?
These pickups excel in blues, country, rock, and indie. The warm, articulate vintage voice and hum-canceling performance make them ideal for players who prioritize classic single-coil character; they are not recommended for metal or djent styles.
Can I adjust the tone with different impedance settings?
Yes. The bridge offers 9k split or 18k full impedance options, while the neck provides 7.9k split or 15.88k full—allowing you to tailor brightness and output across different wiring schemes and amplifiers.
What makes this a professional-grade pickup set?
Hand-built in Santa Barbara using Alnico 5 rod magnets, wax-potted construction for noise-free performance, and a deep-drawn chrome-plated neck cover ensure durability and consistent tone across years of playing. Four-conductor lead wire enables flexible switching for both studio and live rigs.
